and painstaking attention to detail are common elements
in the works of three contemporary artists on view in the
Batchelor Gallery beginning April 2. The vivid colors and
eye-catching detail contained in these small objects, that
measure around a foot or less, will leave you astounded
and amazed.
Dalton Ghetti, of Bridgeport, Connecticut, has been making
his pencil creations since he was a schoolboy in Brazil.
Using a variety of simple razors and needles, he carves
incredibly detailed miniature sculptures out of the lead core
of pencils without the aid of technology or even a magnifying glass.
Alphabet, 2005, comprised of 26 individual pencils,
is hismost famous work.
