Fifty-two artists from around the world cut, carve, and construct, creating objects and installations from sheets of paper, cardboard and reclaimed books. If you have ever used an exacto-knife to cut an image out of paper, you'll know that one small slip can ruin everything. The artists represented here must have the utmost patience and a deft hand, executing intricate designs as fine as lace or teasing to life three-dimensional images from a flat plane. Books spring to life, long forgotten pages resurrected into scenes reminiscent of a fairy tale and text carved away revealing a maze of illustrations. Spanning the whimsical to the dark side, all are thought-provoking and will never have you look at a piece of paper the same way again. Bookmark/Search this post with: |
