Pattern Matters :: Lim Siang Ching

I'm digging the 3D paper sculptures created by Lim Siang Ching as part of the Pattern Matters project. And especially fitting tonight are the series of calendar posters. Check out all of the months and some other works over at the Pattern Matters site. LINK

Le Creative Sweatshop

Le Creative Sweatshop makes visuals of all sorts but I'm particularly fond of the majority of their work which is paper sculptures. It looks as if they primarily do display work but their website no longer shows images unless you roll over the text so it's hard to tell. (I do wonder whose bright idea is was to represent visual creations in text only but it's still worth checking out.) LINK

The Makerie Studio

The Makerie Studio creates some splendid sculptures, many utilizing primarily paper. Check out more of their work on their Behance site. LINK

The End of Gravity :: Jacob Hashimoto

Another mixed media series utilizing rice paper, I can imagine just staring at these pieces for hours on end and seeing something new in them every time. I particularly like the wall pieces with layers suspended on strings called The End of Gravity shown at the Mary Boone Gallery. See more at the artist's site. LINK

Rice Paper Sculptures :: Kirsten Hassenfeld

Featured here before for her hanging found-objects sculptures, this time I wanted to share her amazing mixed media pieces. Rice paper makes large-scale pieces luminescent and magical. At her website, check out the second half of the installations to see more photos. LINK

Paper Works :: Ed Pien

Though I'm less impressed by his drawings, artist Ed Pien seems to have found his niche in large-scale cut paper pieces. See more at his site. LINK

Paper Works :: Aoyama Hina

Artist Aoyama Hina creates a stunning array of cut-paper pieces in a variety of styles. From cut typography to manga comics, traditional Japanese scenes to modern illustrations, all highly detailed and worth seeing at her flickr page. LINK

Cut Paper :: Hunter Stabler

Artist Hunter Stabler creates some complex cut-paper pieces that are worth checking out. LINK

Paper Works :: Mia Liu

Artist Mia Liu has a few series of photos of her paper sculptures that are worth viewing available on her flickr page. LINK

Cardboard Sculptures :: Ferry Staverman

Ferry Staverman has created a whole slew of cardboard sculptures that vary in scale. Utilizing laser cutting, these 3D geometrics are kind of magical. LINK

Amos Lee - Flower

Any time I see a cut-paper animation, I'm astounding by how much work must have gone into creating it. This one seems to be a combination of some different mediums though primarily paper and a mix of stop action and digital animation, though lately, it's getting harder and harder to tell where the line is drawn between the two.

Scored Illustrations :: Simon Schubert

Simon Schubert has quite a few works in folded and scored paper, mostly architectural and geometric pieces. They first started making the rounds on the internet a few years ago, but if you haven't seen them in a while, they are worth checking out again. LINK
