"my paper mind"

peter callesen makes unbelievable paper cutouts from single pieces of paper (above). he creates from the paper–but also creates images in the shapes that he cuts. i love this play with positive & negative space.

javan ivey created a beautiful video using cut paper images, titled “my paper mind.” under about, he gives some description of the method he uses, called “stratastencil.” cool process–lovely results! [via tinygigantic]

all the paper cutting talk makes me think of nikki mcclure and her spectacular xacto-cut images. i still have her 2007 calendar hanging on my wall.

and the master of cutouts, matisse
(oh! just found this PBS online matisse game)

happy monday!
