paper craft research

the artist of the paper art shown above seems to have cut out separate pieces of paper, and layered them to create a scenery that creates elements of storytelling. while doing research and finding artists that work with similar elements, I found that the artist in the link used a digital program to organize their designs to ensure when all the pieces were cut, they would fit together. they also framed their work and added lights to add to the scene to make it look more lively. 

this work inspires me because the artists were able to turn paper art into a piece that contains story elements, and this form of art has a lot of potential to be an effective way of story telling. this could force artists doing paper work projects to think of telling story ideas and concepts in a new and unique way from a lesser known form of art. this could create new opportunities to challenge the way we portray messages and stories through non video or animated media.
