Perspectives

I've been on an artsy kick of late, and have
been surfing a lot of art/design blogs. I came across an entry
somewhere (I forgot where) that highlighted the work of Tsuji
Keiko (辻 恵子). The image above is a sample of the kind of pieces
Tsuji creates. Basically carving out new images from a combination
of positive and negative space on print media. Or as she describes
it herself:

Using her MUJI scissors,

and pieces of newspaper,

she cuts out tiny figures.

I am truly fascinated and amazed by her knack
for seeing and extracting beautiful cut-out figures from pedestrian
print material.

You can see samples of her work on book covers.

Two individual exhibitions with more interesting
cut-outs:

Pieces of Days and MOJI.

If you're in Tokyo this month, do check out
Tsuji's solo exhibition Shin Bun Shi from 17-28th at Hinagiku
Cafe and Gallery.
