I got this great book in the mail called Paper: Tear, Fold, Rip, Crease, Cut, which showcases the use of paper in art, fashion and design. From the traditional art of origami and paper cutting through to contemporary experiments in conceptual paper installations and modular folding, this book celebrates one of the world’s oldest and most widely used materials in all its visual glory.
I can barely cut coupons, and couldn’t imagine having an ounce of the talent of these artists. It’s just spectacular. Spectacular enough to give it away to one of you!
Contest details and more photos after the jump.
Paper profiles over 50 artists and designers who work with the medium, from the vast sculpted installations of Mia Pearlman and the delicate paper incisions of Noriko Ambe, to the light-hearted illustrations of Robert Ryan and the forward-thinking furniture design of Tokujin Yoshioka. The book also charts the history of the material and its role as an art form, from the process of its manufacture in Ancient China to the most recent technological advances.
Following the medium as it is pushed to its extremes, Paper is an elegant and insightful look at the sumptuous world of paper today. A richly illustrated and beautifully designed book which will appeal to designers, art students and paper enthusiasts alike.
I’m going to give my copy away to a lucky reader!
Rules: Comment on this post. One comment per person. Contest runs from August 24, 2009 – August 28, 2009. We will choose a winner at random.

So much beautiful work. Paper is an amazing medium to work with – there’s virtually no limits to what can be created with it.
Luka on 08.24.2009 at 08:53 AM
I think I’ve alredy seen some of the designs. Not sure if it was on DM, though.
Rajio on 08.24.2009 at 08:54 AM
Wow, this is great. I love papercraft.. Pick me, please!
Fabio Liberante on 08.24.2009 at 08:55 AM
There’s something unsettling about pictures of paper being printed on paper. An unintended infinite loop, perhaps.
Nicole on 08.24.2009 at 08:56 AM
Oh, this is so cool! Love it!
Ilya Goldberg on 08.24.2009 at 09:06 AM

Wow, awesome. I’m always amazed by what some people can do with paper! I’ve tried a couple times… and mainly failed. I’ll just leave it to these others :).
paul on 08.24.2009 at 09:29 AM
I am loving the recent art movements back to simplicity & blurring (at last) the line between art and craft.
Not in the final product of course – as this book beautifully illustrates the opposite – but in material: strict constraints bringing out the most stunning results.
Technobabe on 08.24.2009 at 09:32 AM
This book is great!! Love the bird and flower. I think I can make that.

I love working with cut paper! It makes things so much more dimensional and gives it a textural quality that you just can’t get anywhere else.
Crystal on 08.24.2009 at 10:04 AM

Sonia Sanassy on 08.27.2009 at 11:52 AM
A book like this is perfect to highlight the popular paper theme and what you can do – I love the fact that you can say so much using one sheet of paper. I have a thing for paper cranes, taken from the symbol it represents in Japan, of hope and peace – this book looks like it showcases so much more – a true asset to anyones library.
Thanks

This looks like a great compilation that once again brings us to imagine how anything can be turned into art and used constructively

The transcendence from adolescence into adulthood is often too fine a line. Cortázar approaches “End of the Game” with empathy that cherishes his characters’ innocence. The piece reflects upon the value of childhood and the simple yet incisive disruptions that acutely cease its deceitful euphoria. When a playful game attracts a curious boy, three young girls are suddenly taught the scathing realities of the world; each is affected by sympathy yet jealousy, curiosity yet resentment.
luciana on 08.27.2009 at 14:50 PM
I LOVE all things paper. Can I have it please? ;-)
Jonze on 08.27.2009 at 14:57 PM
So pretty! WANT!
Megan on 08.27.2009 at 15:04 PM
Paper art is my favourite, I think because so often it combines my favourite – sculpture and books.
barbara on 08.27.2009 at 15:22 PM

In an age of massive technological advances, its impressive that by manipulating something as simple as paper something breath taking and completely lovely can be created…
I already wanted this book but its a bit pricey…plus…random is my favourite word…

This book sounds amazing! I love paper arts and engineering, and I’m lucky to live near the Minnesota Center for Book Arts, which features exhibits and workshops that look like they could be taken from the pages of a book like this.
Thanks for posting it!
Philip DoubleDownfromKFC on 08.27.2009 at 19:24 PM
It would be interesting if the paper artists could do their work in pdf format so as not to waste paper/trees.
Wait…I think I just blew my own mind…..
B Hart on 08.27.2009 at 19:49 PM

Libby on 08.28.2009 at 02:27 AM
I have totally been pining over this. Count me in on the drawing!
Coral Pope on 08.28.2009 at 04:55 AM
To see something taken for granted since first grade, the blank piece of paper, and see these peices of artwork come from the same thing is astonishing and excitingly nostalgic.
najeem on 08.28.2009 at 05:16 AM
I love DM!! n this one is kewl!
Typograph on 08.28.2009 at 06:17 AM
Paper is such a versatile and overlooked material, the things that can be done with it are truly amazing. The gallery near me had a wonderful exhibition called Paperworks that was simply astounding! Go paper.
namrata on 08.28.2009 at 07:26 AM
If the tree that sacrificed itself for this book saw it, it would feel a litle less bad about having been hacked and probably quite proud of the wonders of paper….to that and paper cuts and little pleasures of life that stem from scoring, cutting, tearing, and throwing paper balls ….cheers!
ELVIS on 08.28.2009 at 08:01 AM
YAY! for paper!!!

i have done some experimenting with paper cutting and boyo is it time consuming! i can’t imagine the blood swear and tears that went into some of those works. fantastic.
