Béatrice Coron - Identity project

French paperartist Béatrice Coron lives and works on her papercuts in New York City. Her Identity Project is from 2009.

The project consists of different oversized pages hanged from the ceiling, each one presenting a different construction of self, through biology and culture, achieved through one's own efforts. The pages hanged from the ceiling can form a path where viewers can look through papercuttings to discover other layers and possibly other viewers. 

Nel Linssen

Nel Linssen is a Dutch jewelry designer and paper artist. Her amazing designs are beautiful pieces of art.

'My work arises intuitively and in an empirical way. I am continually trying to discover logical constructions, inspired by rhytms and structures in the botanical world.

In the development of my ideas the use of paper as a means of expressing myself was an obvious choice. As a material, it possesses a lot of qulities that come in useful to me. Moreover, the tactile qualities of paper are important in connection with wearable objects.

The cause for a new type of research is often quite coincindental. Struck by a certain form of material, I start a quest in which an interaction arises of thought and action in order to attain a useful concept. Finding the appropriate technical solutions is an important challenge in connection with this.'
