 FollowNext Post  I’ve recently discovered the beauty of paper art through my cousin, who has an eye for strange yet remarkable things. He introduced me to the concept of Paper Architecture – ‘the art of creating an object out of a single piece of paper.’ While paper in itself is not an ideal material we use to build a solid, sturdy structure, it actually shows us how it can be a medium to create delicate pieces of art with excruciating details! This particular piece of art is brought to us by Amsterdam-based paper artist Ingrid Siliakus. This particular piece I picked is entitled ‘Cosmopolitan’. If you are familiar with New York, this piece actually takes a snapshot of buildings in this wonderful city. As per her site, “this piece consists out of four sides: two white and two black sides. The four sides are connected to each other by means of integrated tabs and slots. When these tabs/slots are loosened the work can be folded into a two-dimensional surface.” The amount of detail you can see is magnificent. You can view a collection of Ingrid’s work through her site http://www.ingrid-siliakus.exto.org/kunstwerken.html .
