the amazing 49 year old sculptor wanted to have a challenge. so he decided to use graphite as a medium. these are some very intricate designs. my fav is the saw. credit to telegraph.co.uk

from telegraph:

Dalton, who is originally from Brazil, has a box full of more than 100 sculptures that have broken while working on them that he affectionately calls ‘the cemetery collection’. He said: “I have quite a few broken pieces so I decided to glue them on pins and into styrofoam for a display case. People might think it’s weird I keep them but they’re still interesting. I worked on them for months so they might be dead now but at one point I gave them life”

the rest of them can be seen in the gallery
