Made with (and of) Paper

"A video companion to page 61 of Hanji Unfurled (thelegacypress.com/lee_page.html), which describes in both words and images how two-ply sheets of hanji (Korean paper) are made."

Junior Fritz Jacquet is an artist that loves working with paper and has created a series of small masks by bending and folding empty toilet paper rolls.

From photographs as reference, Thomas Witte creates astounding large scale paper cut works and here is our interview into a little more of his background.

"The video shows a large sheet of paper being pulled and later dried on a hot surface. This seems to be a machine-assisted process of hand-papermaking. There's also a still of a beater and some stills of work created using this paper."

"A letter my father wrote to me in the early 1990s, with a newspaper clip (about him) that he'd included. The photo shows my parents when they were young."

"In his paper art series, Schubert meticulously folds sheets of paper, creating a very shallow relief or bas-relief. When the lighting is right, the paper comes to life with depth and contrast. Each ‘sculpture’ is made from a single sheet of paper using only creases and folds. No additional colour is added to the works.

Schubert cites his inspiration most often comes from literature, philosophy, film and fine art. He said a defining moment of inspiration came from the work of Joseph Beuys, which opened Schubert’s eyes that art could be, ‘more than just something decorative and influence into life directly’"

www.orukami.com I folded my first ever Origami Mask yesterday and I dedicate it to my dear friend Russell Sutherland who passed away recently.

Now the fun bit...you might need to add a few folds to get here...but if you glue the central ring to a background piece of paper and TWIST...hey presto!

In my text drawings I deconstruct the word of God by cutting letters from sacred writings and rearranging them to form a passage from another holy book. I may cut letters from the Bible and reassemble them as a passage from the Koran, or use letters cut from the Torah to recreate an ancient Tantric text. The individual letters are glued to the paper in a continuous line of type, without spaces or punctuation, in order to discourage a literal reading of the text. By bringing together the sacred writings of diverse traditions, I create a visual tapestry of inspired writings, all pointing beyond specifics to the universal need for connection with something greater than oneself.

The labor-intensive aspect of my work is a meditation practice as well as a personal form of devotion.
