...this blog gave to thee...
...four paper worlds...
...three shiny gems...
...two texting whales...
...and a pendant that I made.
I've been wanting to blog these for a while, and there are more by each artist which are so wonderful I will post in the New Year. But for today, a sneak piece at some wonderful paper art.
Biblios (image 1) by Guy Laramee. Laramee creates these incredible depictions of mountains, valleys, temples and caves by carving them into the pages of the encyclopaedia's these icons were described. They are, without doubt, spectacular pieces of paper art. {Artist's Page}
Teacup Island (image 2) by Helen Musselwhite, who creates beautiful and fairytale designs. Each hand crafted using paper cut, folding and scoring techniques to building up three dimensional scenes. With a strong graphic bent, these nature inspired illustrations are fascinating as each layer builds up to tell part of the story. {Artist's Page}
The Woodcutter's Hut (image 3) by Su Blackwell. This paper artist works are based primarily on the narrative of fairy-tales and folklore, her book-sculptures transform the telling of a story from the flat lifeless page to the three dimensional fantasy. They are fragile and delicate, yet you could imagine the books characters having wonderful adventures through its staging. {Artist's Page}
Castle on the Sea (image 4) by Wataru Itou. An art student from Tokyo, Itou took four years to create this paper landscape, cutting and folding each piece by hand and carefully crafting the installation, which included moving trains and Ferris wheels and working lights, which bar the electronics were all made of paper. This majestic city was part of the Castle on the Sea Exhibition, in April 2009. {Source | Exhibition | Source}
