If you can overcome the sacrilege of carving up big, heavy reference books, Guy Laramee’s paper and binding sculptures are nothing short of stunning. He transforms heavy tomes into mountains, waves, and rock-face monuments.

Even though Laramee is effectively destroying these books for his art, it almost seems as though he’s discovered something hidden inside the pages, landscapes waiting to be uncovered. And in some of his sculptures, the ink is still visible, lending the appearance of strata to his newfound rocks.
