FLOATING PAPER SCULPTURES by PETER GENTENAAR
_
Comparing a sheet of paper to a leaf on the tree:
“The process of pulling water from the pulp manages to shrink it by as much as 40%. Reinforced with a rigid bamboo framework the sculptures thus takes the form of vaporous Autumn leaves twirling in the wind.”
Beautiful paper art.

Beautiful Cut Paper by MIA PEARLMAN
_
Statement from the Artist:
“My process is very intuitive, based on spontaneous decisions in the moment. I begin by making loose line drawings in India ink on large rolls of paper. Then I cut out selected areas between the lines to make a new drawing in positive and negative space on the reverse. 30-80 of these cut paper pieces form the final installation, which I create on site by trial and error, a 2-3 day dance with chance and control. Existing only for the length of an exhibition, this weightless world totters on the brink of being and not being, continually in flux. It is my mediation on creation, destruction, and the transient nature of reality.”

MARBLED-EGG SCULPTURES out of PAPER by JULIE DODD
_
Eggs made out of 2,000 paper slices. The Artist cuts out thousands of egg shapes, then she glues together the pieces. Building layers – one by one. Until the thickness of a real egg is reached. After a process of a few weeks the eggs are completely dried up. Then she’s using sand for a smooth surface and varnish them. Great idea, just in time for Easter …
