With the steady hand of a surgeon and some obviously super sharp tools (I&#8217;d love to see his kit), he transforms writing instruments into tiny sculptures, including mind blowing links of &#8220;chain.&#8221; Originally from Brazil but based in Bridgeport, Connecticut, he spends months to years on each sculpture. People in the New Rochelle, NY area can check Ghetti&#8217;s work close up and personal at the Brother Kenneth Chapman Gallery, Sept 8, 2010.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1579
