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 has become the media itself. Follow artists and designers from around the world who cut, fold and sculpt paper to new heights of creativity, and develop new techniques that 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, while others delicately trace the fluidity of a jellyfishs tentacles or the movement of water. Projects include fashion, jewelry and furniture design, origami, sculpture and installation art.
