Kyoko Okubo
Meticulous, small figures by Kyoko Okubo made from washi, the traditional paper of Japan. The incorporation of natural object into the design gives a symbolic and gentle feel to the minature art.

Su Blackwell
Su Blackwell creates incredible paper-based art created with books as well as separate sculptures. There is a nice installation where she made a thousand cranes from pictures of missing people, basing it on the Japanese legend that those who fold 1000 cranes will get their wish granted.

Mykonos – Grandchildren
Grandchildren was recently commissioned to do a music video for Fleet Foxes‘ song ‘Mykonos’ with only 4 weeks in which to create the finished product.Even with such a short timeframe, Grandchildren have produced an incredible abstract stop motion music video, perfectly suited to the song, in which everything is paper, adding substance to the surreal story and jumping the hurdle which many music videos cannot surpass – telling a story in just a few minutes.

Mabona Origami
A myriad of intricate origami from abstract to more traditional designs by the Switzerland-based Sipho Mabona.
“Sipho Mabona’s origami covers a great range of different styles from very intricate representational designs to abstract geometrical shapes. The impeccable folding and his great sense for lines and shapes distinguishes Mabona’s work of art.”

Julien Vallée – New York Times Magazine
This animation has been doing the rounds of the creativity blogs for some time but thought people should be reminded of the beautiful stop motion piece by Montreal artist Julien Vallée.
Julien Vallée, who had an exhibition not too long ago, has some other very impressive ‘tangible’ work in his portfolio including paper sculptures, as well as a few more less ‘tangible’ animations.
