March 9, 2013 Tohono Chul exhibits

My favorite garden park also has a museum exhibit hall.  These pictures are from the paper From all sides exhibit and the Art of the Cosmos.

Paper boats
The materials woven into these sheets of paper are incredibly intricate and beautiful.

 A dimensional picture with leaves of paper folded outward to reveal an inner picture.











Would you believe this is a tree made of 1,100 shopping bags!!!!  At last, a decorative way to store those paper bags if you have space.
 
 This is a paper collage picture is constructed of strips of colored paper from other publications.  When placed strategically, they form this picture of a house.

 Matchbook Paper Collage.
Some among us may not remember what paper match books looked like.  This is the cardboard paper base that the matches were attached to.










This picture is the tiny folded part of match books where you struck the match to cause the flame to ignite.

 Desert Moon.
I am always amazed that random media can be used to make a picture- no paints, no photography, just specially constructed paper .












Art of the Cosmos
This is just one of the incredible pictures of the heavens, this one by David Allen Harvey
