Paper has held my fascination as an art medium for most of my life. I still feel a child-like excitement when I find paper art that expresses beautiful gestures or capture a small detail of nature.

Li-Chu Wu’s paper jewelry is a welcome addition to the growing list of paper art I have featured on DAM.
Mountain Landscape Brooch
Wu, who holds a Masters in Jewellery, Silversmithing and Related Products from Birmingham City University, creates movement by manipulating multiple layers of paper.

“The pieces function both as wearable pieces of body adornment and as sculptural objects off the body. The soft and subdued tones of colour that I choose give a quiet, calm and contemplative quality to the pieces.” Li-Chu Wu

Last week I stood on a table above Rob Kincheloe’s torch for over an hour and shot more than 400 photos as he created one of his Foral Implosion Cubes.
I edited 84 of the photos and Rob will whittle that number down to 18 later today. The photographs are for a tutorial that Kincheloe is writing for an upcoming issue of The Flow Magazine. Rob donated the beautiful cube (pictures coming soon) to the apprenticeship project – it will become a donor perk later this month along with artwork by two more of the artists here.
These three images are my favorite – probably not appropriate for the tutorial, but pretty cool, eh?

26 year old Emma Yeo’s silk, wood and suedette creations range from neckpieces and hats to sculpture.
The artist uses interlocking pieces of wood veneer that have been laser cut and inscribed. Geometric pattern meets female sensibilities.
Sculpture No. 79
Swan Necklace
In June 2010 she won the UK’s top millinery competition – quite a feat for someone who has only been making hats for two years.
