There are obvious formal differences between the works of Brian Dettmer and Isaac Salazar, but it's still fascinating to witness just what a book can be.
Visit Brian Dettmer's website here; his flickr page here; and here's an interesting article from The Guardian.

I like this type of work but would have thought of it as a relief carving rather than a book. I always liked the way relief carving creates a 3D image in what at first glance the brain assumes should be a 2D plane. An impressive amount of 3D thinking required I think!

I'd never thought about it like that, but I can see what you mean by comparing it to relief carving: It's as much about what Dettmer takes away as it is about what he leaves for us to see...
