Cardboard Ladies by Christian Tagliavini
The realm of cardboard art is easily unsurpassed with the numerous amounts of ways that it can be manipulated, everything from apartments to installations and music videos to even fruit.
Now we can say that fashion and photography can have a share in this realm with Swiss-Italian born Christian Tagliavini’s Dame Di Cartone, which literally translates to Cardboard Ladies. What he has created is a glimpse into the past with these lovely portraits, the clothes being entirely crafted out of cardboard and now for your viewing pleasure if you happen to be in London. The exhibition “Cut Out & Keep” is being held at the at the Diemar Noble Photography Gallery until January 7th, 2012.

Map Collage of ‘Geronimo’ by Matthew Cusick
‘Geronimo’ happened to be one of my favorite collaged map pieces from from Matthew Cusick. Upon first glance from a distance, I was immediately struck by powerfulness of this piece and then realized upon having a closer look how impeccably detailed it is. As you can see below, Matthew has used various maps and atlases cut and reshaped to form these simply refined portraits which are all created on wood.

“I wish I had a portrait worth framing”
“I wish is a personal project which I have created in response to the theme ‘word play’. It is one of many images, which I intend to create in the coming months referencing every day expressions/thoughts that at one stage have slipt into my mind.” — James Kape

The faces shown here pop of the page when placed against a normal white background, naturally piquing ones curiosity. The simplicity and abstractness of the forms elude to the conceptual relationship between space and body. Continue reading

Andreas Scheiger: Jane
Andreas Scheiger has just recently completed his latest paper cut entitled ‘Jane’. He chose a different cardboard for this piece unlike the use of color corrugated cardboard in his other amazing work ‘Byrne & Boyle’. This was completely handcrafted using industrial packaging cardboard for a more handmade look with thicker grating. I especially love how he showed the different perspectives of the piece so that you can see the interaction with light, shadow and texture. Lovely work that makes me want to reach out and touch.
