Brett Dettmer

I found another artist who works within paper, except the paper is still in books. Brett Dettmer's work is   a bit of a leap from the previous artists I have studied; while his pieces are still three dimensional structures, the paper hasn't been folded or scored in anyway, the imagery has been cut and carved into the text in books. 

I found these two examples of Brett's work. These particular pieces rely heavily on the layers of the pages, and I think it really adds to the image itself. I love how certain words have been separated and singled out, perhaps to enhance the message within the piece. 

I would love to try something like this, although Im not entirely sure if this would be accepted within the brief.
