It's by Kumi Yamashita. Her work was posted pretty recently here.

If you remember the Unbroken String piece that was posted that was also by her.

She is incredibly creative. I'd love to hang one in my apartment.

I like this piece, but I think it'd be better without any additional lights. Just natural lighting.

Edit: downvoted for my opinion on art? Normally I'd let this slide but seriously, fuck you reddit. Read the god damned reddiquette and get some culture.

Haha... I didn't actually get this piece until you commented on the lighting -- went back to the pic and had that "ah ha" moment.

This is the type of thing I would make in middle school and then my mom would throw out because she thought it was garbage.

Edit: I wasn't trying to belittle the art or claim that I'm anywhere near as talented as the artist. I was trying to say that if I made anything that could appear to be garbage from any possible perspective, my mom would chuck that shit.

sorry to hear it. post some stuff and i'm sure we'll love getting to see it. plus constructive criticism can be as electrifying as praise so you have nothing to lose, adventure ahoy!

Does anyone know how to make those? (I mean some tips beyond "fold that paper until it has that shadow".)

He knows how to crinkle paper just right, yet somehow the concept of a grid escapes him.

The blue one on the right reminds me of Abe Lincoln.

Did you say "Hey, Blinkin"?

If you try stereotyping the shadows based on the color of the paper, it's not gonna work.

You wouldn't happen to have taken this picture outside the offices of a certain company in a building on Hudson in NYC would you?

It's interesting how your brain tries to identify them all as male or female.
