Dalton M. Ghetti takes sculpturing to a new level by using the graphite of a pencil, and the pencil as a whole, to create these amazing art works. You have probably already heard of or seen the alphabet one that is exhibited at V&A's 'The Power of Making' in London (if you haven't, the exhibition will still be open until 2nd of June 2012!), but have you seen the rest of his work?
Let me give you some examples, along with the alphabet:
'His idea is to bring people’s attention to small things. Small is beautiful. Most of the pencils he uses are found on the streets and sidewalks. Dalton’s work is a recycling process. He turns discarded objects into art. (...) His pencil carvings are not for sale. He doesn’t do it for money. He sculpts pencils mostly for himself and his art comes from his heart. He wants to keep it that way.' - www.daltonmghetti.com
