Trying diligently to find a topic to inspire me for this weeks blog, I googled and googled so many different topics pertaining to art. but. Nothing. At least not until I decided to look up my own concentration (Nature: Trees) and I remembered that earlier today my friend, Kathryn, was working on a paper-cut-out project of some trees. And when I saw this, I knew I had finally found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!
Yuken Teruya is a Japanese artist who got his MFA (Master of Fine Arts) at School of Visual Arts in New York!! My heart jolted, a little, when I saw he was an alumni from SVA! :D
What I mainly love about his work, is the different paper he decides to use to cut out the tree or plant designs. Teruya’s art makes simple, everyday things into something appealing to the eye! To me, it is mind-bottling how much time, practice, and skill it takes to make this kind of art! Seeing his artwork makes me want to use up a thing of toilet paper just for the cardboard tube! Teruya has definitely opened the door to a whole new level of paper-cutting!

This is really cool, Anna. I see why you chose to blog about this. We did something really similar to this at GSA and it's really hard! (*hint hint* *cough cough* Architecture is the way to go!)
