“Internal Landscape” is a mesmerizing hand-carved book collage by Gretchen Wessel, created from the pages of a vintage medical encyclopedia. This intricately layered piece explores the human body in all its wonder—showcasing anatomical elements like the lungs, heart, skeletal system, nerves, and more, all bursting outward in an explosion of color and structure.
The layered carving technique creates a 3D collage effect, blending science and art into a bold, almost surreal visual narrative. Matted and framed in a soft white and natural woodgrain frame, this piece makes a thoughtful gift or conversation starter for doctors, nurses, students, or anatomy art lovers.
One of a kind. Signed and professionally framed.
