paper magic


i sort of stumbled into Montreal's Musée des Beaux Arts exhibit of private collections last week. a breakfast date with my friend fiona kept me from spending any sort of reasonable amount of time looking at everything but one piece (lie: there were two other things i saw that made me go a little wild - 1) a wood-laminate chair by Frank Gehry and 2) a painting by Quebec artist Marcelle Ferron) by Ed Pien really struck me, it was this incredibly HUGE and intricate paper-cut sculpture probably a part of the same series as the one he's shown making in that link.

so that's cool, butttt even more exciting in the world of paper and knives is what Mia Pearlman (thanks design*sponge) is doing (that's "Whorl" in the photo). wow.
