The surgical precision of Richard Galpin

Found this on one of my favorite art-eye-candy blogs, but does it float (who quoted it from data is nature.) Whenever I'm filled with jealousy upon seeing someone's work, I know it's worth sharing...

From the artist's site: "Richard Galpin’s complex art works are derived from the artist's own photographs of chaotic cityscapes. Using only a scalpel Galpin intricately scores and peels away the emulsion from the surface of the photograph to produce a radical revision of the urban form. The artist allows himself no collaging, or additions of any kind - each delicate work is a unique piece made entirely by the erasure of photographic information."
