Paper Play

The follow-up to the bestselling Paper Works, this title continues the exploration of paper as the ultimate artists' material. From an award-winning documentary to a nationally touring museum exhibition, paper is no longer a blank canvas for other media, but the media itself. Follow artists and designers from around the world who cut, fold and sculpt paper to new heights of creativity, developing new techniques, which open up doors of expression. In two or three dimensions, full color or monochromatic, the effects are limitless. Some designs
are geometric, creating real or imagined cityscapes -
others gestural tracing the fluidity of a jellyfish's tentacles or the movement of water. Projects include fashion, jewelry and furniture design, origami, sculpture and installation art.
