Artist Laurie Frick uses pattern, words, and color found in bits of paper to create collages that replicate the feel of neurons firing in a person’s brain. The point is, there’s a fine line between art and science.
Posted In create, paper“I imagine the brain breaks down visual time into bits where the novel and odd are as essential to recollection as the intensely emotional. Vaguely familiar cut-up materials stand-in for everything you stumble across in a day, the amount you see and forget and the things you give only partial-attention. How much does the brain take in every day, every logo and advertisment online, every storefront you pass by, the packaging along every aisle in the grocery store, every ad on television.”
Cody Trepte’s All It Is, And Ever Was, And Ever Will Be project made me catch my breath a little. Honestly. It’s such an immense though, and when you put it against a backdrop as majestic as outer space it makes my mind want to explode in an amazing way. The entire series consists of twelve silkscreens, most not even containing text.

Artist Jen Stark does things with paper that I can only dream about. My favorite is the last piece pictured above. If the word simplicity can be attached to any piece of her work this particular one captures it perfectly.

The only thing I love more than my favorite things are when two of my favorites get together and make something incredible. In this case paper and tattoos. Jacob Dahlstrup uses a tattoo gun on rag paper to create the most beautiful blind images. Take a look at how he does it here. {via d.Sharp Journal}

Paper, copper pipe, string, and a massive imagination. Anna-Wili Highfield is the daughter of a puppeteer, which surely helped guide her in the direction of paper sculpture. Good news for the rest of us, because I have all of these things in my house and will never get close to creating something this show-stopping. {via Creature Comforts}
