“For @filmhouse - a gift - In support of Libraries, Books, Words, Ideas… & All things *magic*.”
“Intricate paper sculptures are being left in Edinburgh’s cultural hotspots, with no hint as to who made them. The Filmhouse Cinema and the National Library of Scotland are the latest recipients, after the Scottish Poetry Library was gifted a model earlier in the year.”
(Edinburgh Evening News)
Oh wow! I no longer live in Edinburgh, but I’ll have my friends keep a look out for these :D I wonder if it’s the handiwork of an ECA student…

China-born, Pittsburgh-based artist Bovey Lee creates what might just be the most intricate paper art of all, hand-slicing the tiniest pieces of paper into amazingly flawless shapes and patterns. “The underlying themes in my paper cutouts are power, sacrifice, and survival,” she told the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. “Drawing ideas from my cultural identity and gender, headline news, environmental issues, and socio-political commentaries, I painstakingly hand cut each work on a single sheet of paper that depicts layered and dramatic narratives. The deep paradoxes in my works contrast starkly with the airy, fragile laces of the cutouts.”
