Paper Art in the Life of Jennifer Collier
The idea of ??transforming everyday objects into paper works of art is not new. If you know and are familiar with Paper Model, you must know that all kinds of things can be shaped through paper models. But the paper artworks designed and produced by Jennifer Collier are derived from various small objects that are common in life, but when you see them, you feel that you have been deeply attracted by the unique atmosphere they reveal. The ingenuity of Jennifer Colliers paper crafts is that she uses some retro-looking paper when shaping some daily objects, which invisibly injects life and language into these objects. Appreciating these works feels like Listening to them tell interesting old stories.
Strictly speaking, Jennifer Colliers paper art works are not paper models, because paper models pay more attention to exquisite design and true restoration of things, so they are more like paper sculptures. Jennifer Colliers paper art works are more about conveying a feeling. We can see from the set of teapots and trays below that the elegant feel combined with the brown paper makes people immediately indulge in the comfort and ease of drinking tea in the afternoon. Especially when the paper used to make these objects is covered with handwritten text, it feels even more like there are endless stories integrated into these small objects. As a work of art, its mission can be said to have been achieved, and there are also various Surprising little details.
The more clever way to make it is toHere is a set of office supplies. Newspaper is used as the main frame packaging to flexibly display the atmosphere of the office. The dense text here gives people a sense of rigidity and regularity, which is consistent with the theme of office. Jennifer Collier did not give up on details just to make some common office items. Whether it is a typewriter, a telephone or a telescope, all details are considered very well. However, this kind of detail does not hinder the unique "rough" feeling presented by the work itself. This rough feeling is not caused by the work being unrefined, but by the "joint" with nature that the maker deliberately retained. The excessive layers make the work look aesthetic while retaining the casualness of life.
The most amazing thing is probably the camera below. Jennifer Collier cleverly used maps to create this paper art camera. Clever turning waste into treasure production has given life to this camera in terms of appearance, and using a map as the housing of this camera has given people more imagination. In our daily life, cameras often travel with us, and this camera uses a map as a housing to easily integrate travel and wonderful photos. This creativity is unique and extraordinary, and it is amazing at the same time. Can't help but want to own this piece of art. I have to say that Jennifer Collier did a really great job with these paper art works!
