Prospectus: Paper. We know what paper is for. We can write on paper or draw on paper. We paint and print on paper. But paper has a life beyond its common two dimensional usage. Paper can be, and is used, to create things in three dimensions. That is what this show is about - creating three dimensional art with paper.
It isn't a new concept, we all know of the art of Origami and many of us made the less far complicated paper snowflakes that decorate classroom windows every winter. Paper can be used for both functional and decorative items. It can be strong or it can be delicate. It uses are myriad. The limits of what you can do with paper for this show will be yours. You can make something that is traditionally made of paper. Your piece can be something usually made from other materials that you render in paper. It can be something completely out of the imagination. It can be functional or just wonderful to look at. It can be ordinary or exotic. Use your ingenuity. Roam the broad ranges of your imagination and create.
All entries must be three dimensional. The main material of entries - no less than 75%, must be paper; though all materials used should be listed. Please use your artist's statement to tell us what kind of paper you used in the creation of your piece. You
should also describe how it was made or constructed. If an entry is functional, please explain how it works. Why you chose to create what you did should be included in your statement as well.
The artist's statement is required. It will increase understanding of your work and significantly enhance the experience for the viewer. As texture or other small elements may be pivotal to the piece, detail shots are encouraged. All points of the prospectus should be met. If you have any questions regarding the prospectus and its requirements, please send them to edu@ebsqart.com. |
