I was expecting dodecahedrons or something. This is cool!

Lovely. Don't miss the '70s style stop motion animation on the homepage.

Wow. I wonder how she managed to mount those last cutout sets, without the weight causing the pad to tear. Really neat stuff.

Ouch. Paper cut.

Her Linear Masses drawings are mind-boggling as well.

um...on review, the stop-motion bit kicked my ass.

Fantastic!

Great stuff! I particularly liked this.

I think that the word "vomiting" should be prepended to the titles of Trangle, Circle and Square.

Some of them look like backdrops from Oh, The Places You'll Go. Only more vibrant. And 3-D.

That's exceptionally cool. Thanks.

Breathtaking and fresh. What a great visual surprise. Love her work.

Enjoyed some of her drawing and her Links page has some fun stuff too, especially VectorPark.

Striking — and eerily similar to Louis Wain's psychotic cats.

Very nice work. Here's her myspace.

Love it! Best of the web (and that's not typed with sarcasm for once!).

Another damn single link po...

Oh.

I see.

Yes, that's quite nice.

Thanks, solistrato.

Very wow.

There is so much beauty out there.
posted by ClarissaWAM at 5:40 AM on February 28, 2007

That is some truly amazing work. I shudder to think about how much time must go into one of those creations. They manage to be beautiful and playful at the same time.

Paper art makes me insanely happy. I don't know why, it's just always fabulous! This is a great post!

This is really, really neat. Thank you.

Thanks a lot. Now I'm never going to be able to look at that pad of construction paper in my classroom the same way again. And as for the stuff my students made that is hanging on the walls right now... I'm beginning to think we're not using the medium to its full potential.

This is great.

In the interest of total pedantic attribution, I received this link from a friend, who got it from Le Dooce. Never let it be said that I would deny the blogtrain its rightful place in the sun.

I'm very glad everyone likes it!

Very nice. Thanks.
