The Work of Jennifer Collier

I love art made of paper. There’s something that’s always interested me about the idea of “art”, the thing that hangs in museums, being created out of a medium that’s so delicate and impermanent.

The work of Jennifer Collier is beautiful. She takes everyday objects and recreates them in paper. I especially love the delicate nature of the shoes, which reenforces the natural state of paper itself.

The Work of Edouard Martinet

The work of Edouard Martinet is simply amazing. He takes found objects and fits them together to make beautiful sculptures. The insects are especially beautiful, of course the industrial nature of an insect’s exoskeleton lends itself to car parts and thrift store finds.

Hobo Nickles

These Hobo Nickles are amazing. Apperently they date back to the 1800’s and hit their apex during the depression when the number of unemployed artists were pretty much the same as it ever was at an all time high.

Colossal has posted a series of skull Hobo Nickels (Nickels carved by hobos to modify the art). Finding one of these in my change would make my day!
