Here is some great work by paper artist Bianca Chang. I think her work is absolutely amazing, and really brings typography to a whole new level.

Paper Art

This is a very short extract from Bianca’s site…

…The works are created by hand-plotting and cutting multiple sheets of 80gsm 100% post consumer waste recycled paper – minimizing the impact of paper consumption and consciously transforming a typically disposable medium into a long term piece of art… [carry on reading].

This paper art is quite stunning and original. Artist Peter Callesen has done a great job creating realistic paper cuts that bring A4 paper sheets to life // Image above: Running Fire II.

Peter’s site explains:

[...] Some of the small paper cuts relate to a universe of fairy tales and romanticism, as for instance Impenetrable Castle inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale The Steadfast Tin Soldier, in which a tin soldier falls in love with a paper ballerina, living in a paper castle. Other paper cuts are small dramas in which small figures are lost within and threatened by the huge powerful nature. Others again are turning the inside out, or letting the front and the back of the paper meet – dealing with impossibility, illusions, and reflections… [read more]

I’m sure you’ll adore this paper art sculpting work by White Papers Press. This is an extract about Sara, the designer of these delicate works:

About fifteen years ago, Sara put an x-acto blade to an unfinished sketchbook. She liked the silhouettes, the relationship between positive and negative space – still does. [...]

Sara develops new things using all of the above: products, ideas, homewares, and so much more stuff that she hasn’t yet realized. Her clients include IDEO, Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware and Levis. She also has exhibited her print and cut paper artwork in the UK, US and Canada and teaches at the San Francisco Center for the Book [more].

Photographer Cara Barer has done a fantastic job in turning old books into stunning paper art. My favourite is the one entitled ‘The Twins’ at the end of this post ↓ Above: “Rapunzel”.

More Work from Cara Barer:

Above: Anthology

An extract from Cara’s online statement:

[...] I arrive at some of my images by chance. Others, through experimentation. Without these two elements, my work would not flow easily from one idea to the next. A random encounter on Drew Street with the Houston Yellow Pages was the primary inspiration for this project. After that chance meeting, I began the search for more books, and more methods to change their appearance.
I realized I owned many books that were no longer of use to me, or for that matter, anyone else. Would I ever need “Windows 95?” After soaking it in the bathtub for a few hours, it had a new shape and purpose. Half Price Books became a regular haunt, and an abandoned house gave me a set of outdated reference books, complete with mold and neglect. Each book tells me how to begin according to its size, type of paper, and sometimes contents. [read more]
