Landscapes carved from books by Guy Laramee

By Antonia Edwards

The intricacy of this work is exceptional.  Remarkably, these atmospheric landscapes are sculpted from old books.  The series named Biblios is by multi-disciplinary artist Guy Laramee who says of his work, “So I carve landscapes out of books and I paint Romantic landscapes. Mountains of disused knowledge return to what they really are: mountains.  They erode a bit more and they become hills. Then they flatten and become fields where apparently nothing is happening…”  Via Colossal
