Guy Laramee has been a multidisciplinary artist for almost 30 years. He has been a stage writer, director, composer, a fabricator of musical instruments, a singer, sculptor, painter and writer.
His latest work are these sculptural series of carved books:
He says of this 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. Piles of obsolete encyclopedias return to that which does not need to say anything, that which simply IS. Fogs and clouds erase everything we know, everything we think we are.
Amazing stuff.
