Dalton M Ghetti
'Small Is Beautiful'

Ghetti produced these sculptures onto discarded carpenters'pencils to challenge himself to create the smallest sculptures he could physically produce.
He used a sewing needle as a carving tool, and each piece could take up to a year to produce as he could only work on them for up to two hours a day, as the work was so intense.

What a lot of energy here! These are beautiful pieces. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed the visit, thank you x
DeleteOh my! These are simply splendid. A couple of years ago I went to a similar exhibition at Pallant House in Chichester and it blew me away. Outside In is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed with Outside In, such a great organisation x
DeleteHow interesting. I like the suits, the ceramics & pencil miniature sculpture best. The others are a bit too wacky for me !
ReplyDeleteThose carvings were just amazing, Happy New Year chuck x
DeleteSo many fantastic pieces. They are buzzing! I love the ceramics and Landfill Tantrum is incredible. Thanks for sharing and a Happy New Year to you, Mrs. B.XX
ReplyDeleteHappy new year to you chuck, I loved the stained glass too x
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI've just come across this lovely sharing of our exhibition with partner Outside In (and which began at Pallant House). We're glad you enjoyed it and it's nice to see the appreciation of your words and images. We have an exhibition touring around at the moment called 'We are Commoners: creative acts of commoning'. Let us know if you'd like to go see it and we'll send you a catalogue. It's about to open at The Civic in Barnsley #WeAreCommoners.
All the best,
Deirdre Figueiredo, Director of Craftspace
Im so glad that you liked the blog post Deirdre, I really loved the work - unfortunately Im a bit restricted with travelling so I wouldn't be able to make it to Barnsley, which is a real shame. Thank you for your kind offer.
DeleteBest wishes and thanks.
