Paper and the Art of…Art

by Joshua Johnson on July 24th, 2007

Paper-made face–don’t wash in water, please!

I found an article that made me interested (again) in doing things with old paper. The post is inspired by the article, the picture came from the Fuller Craft Museum’s website: http://www.fullercraft.org/exhibitions.html

Let’s get the link out of the way, so we can talk turkey (erm, that is, paper). The article is titled: You’ll never look at the paper quite the same way by Bill Van Siclen. (Article was published in the Providence Journal) Paste this if you can get the link to work: http://www.projo.com/art/content/wk-artscene28_06-28-07_EM667FM.255076b.html

Now, the article talks about a new exhibit called “Pulp Fiction” (get it, haha, paper pulp….okay, fine, so I like puns) that showcases new uses of paper in art.

One that I liked was that someone used corrugated cardboard to make a chest look like it was made from wood. There was even a wedding dress made from paper towels…I wonder how well that will hold up?

Think of the possibilities people, think!
