Pencil Art by Dalton Ghetti

Many artists use pencils to create their works of art, but for Dalton Ghetti uses his pencils as artworks.



Dalton Ghetti started to carved pencils in 1986.



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.





To create his sculpture, he holds the pencil in his hand under a strong light source (table lamp or sunlight) and carves it mostly with a sewing needle and a very sharp, triangular, small, metal blade.





It takes months or sometimes years to complete a sculpture.
