Paper is the most fascinating medium. It can be so pliable, so malleable to the touch, and yet, so fragile to manipulate. I imagine it takes a great deal of patience and calm to create these amazing structures created by Alexandra Zaharova & Ilya Plotnikov (hat, b&w dresses, bottom) and Matthew Brodie (technicolor piece, top). I also imagine it takes a great deal of time.
I'm pinning these images on my wall today to remind myself that a creative project is only as good as the time invested in its cultivation. Every few minutes applied towards even a fragment of that project means something. Sometimes a cut, no matter how small, makes the entire piece fit together. That goes for poems, stories, paintings, sewing projects, and sourdough starters, as well.
