Chie Hitotsuyama creates astoundingly beautiful paper sculptures from rolled up newspapers. Her work is currently on exhibit at the Museum of Art & History in California. [via]

Wow, these are incredible. She's a really talented artist. I loved reading that she never stood out in art/design school and went back to her roots (growing up in a prefecture known for paper) to find something that could be hers alone.
