Perfect Paper

Departing from paper's persuasive use as a printing material, 'Perfect Paper' explores the unconventional uses of paper in four chapters: 'Illustrative Paper-cuts' showcases two-dimensional paper-cutting works with contemporary imagery; 'Arty Objects' explores three-dimensional paper objects and sculptures; 'Interiors & Installations' examines paper's potential as a material in tactile furniture and spatial installations; and 'Papering the Body' exhibits paper clothing and jewellery that frame the human silhouette. In the hands of today's most progressive artists, paper has undergone a renaissance. Embodying the intimacy of the handmade aesthetic and the bold, self-renewing spirit of modality, 'Perfect Paper' is an ideas book. Today's paper artists have made accelerated inroads into other realms like fashion design and product design. From intricate paper cuts to three-dimensional art objects to tactile interiors and installations, and edgy fashion pieces. 'Perfect Paper' showcases the eclectic forms of paper brilliantly executed by a new wave of artists and designers like Nel Limssen, Robert Ryan and Molo Design. 'Perfect Paper' does not merely celebrate the possibilities of its medium, paper, itself; it reminds us that the path of creativity is often an individual one, and the heights to which personal passions and values can be given expression. 'Perfect Paper' will delight those interested in the bold and beautiful forms captured here.
