Paper cuts

Emma Vanleese
I love this - the intricacy is amazing, all one-offs. I love the dialogue going on in this image. How has she created such character and conversation in one simple piece of white paper?
Andreas Kocks
On a larger scale than above (so less intricate)  however this is also an amazing work. This is done with lazer cutting. So basically this has been designed digitally, and then layered physically (in the real world). But the amount of insight needed to design something this spectacular and so tactile on just a computer is pretty impressive. This is all paper, but look how spontaneous and fluid it appears when displayed as an installation.

 Notice how controlled and disciplined the first work appears in comparison to the second. But ironically the second quite possibly involved more precise thinking and planning to create something so disorganised and spontaneous.
