When lead pencils become too short or too small to be grasped, we tend to throw them away. But not this artist.
When lead pencils become too short or too small to be grasped, we tend to throw them away. But not this artist.
Meet Dalton Ghetti, a Brazilian-born artist/carpenter. He earned his Associate degree in Architecture at a community college in Connecticut, USA.
According to him, art is a hobby and a form of meditation. Having started with carving large objects, he shifted to carving small things in order to highlight its importance.
At school I would carve a friend’s name into the wood of a pencil and then give it to them as a present. Later, when I got into sculpture, I would make these huge pieces from things like wood, but decided I wanted to challenge myself by trying to make things as small as possible.”
Using a sewing needle and a small metal blade, he whittles away at pencil graphite for around two hours a day. Given the short amount of time he spends on pencil carving, it usually takes him months to finish a piece.
Amazing works of art indeed!
