Dettmer manipulates the pages and spines to form the shape of his sculptures. He also folds, bends, rolls, and stacks multiple books to create completely original sculptural forms.
Although this BLOG is currently not active, scroll back through the blog to see a GREAT deal about the history of a SMALL place known as Michael's Museum, a collection of over 105 collections of tiny treasures. Now a permanent exhibit at Chicago Children's Museum on Navy Pier. All text entries and photographs copyrighted. Request permission to use from info@michaelsmuseum.org
