Ingrid Siliakus

"Origamic Architecture"


Ingrid Siliakus likes to make three-dimensional recreations of world famous buildings and abstract sculptures out of a single sheet of paper. Paper Architecture is the art of creating an object out of a single piece of paper. Creating a paper architecture art work is done by a detailed cutting and folding. The paperweight Ingrid uses varies from 160 to 300 gram.

Hong Yi

Malaysian artist Hong Yi makes her art out of coffee stain. Her inspiration was found in a song called "secret" which one of the lyrics was about lifting a coffee cup from the saucer. Yi decided to make a portrait of the song's artist using coffee stains. It took her 12 hours to complete this process.

Caitlin Hackett

Man vs. Animal

Caitlin Hackett lives in Brooklyn, New York. Caitlin uses ballpoint pen and watercolor as her primary mediums on paper. She loves the way in which the human view of an animal can render it into an object of utility. I think  she uses a sense of line and scale. Her paintings are very unique and different makes you want to keep staring at it.

Nathan Sawaya

"Ripping the skin off the face"


Nathan Sawaya was born in Colville, Washington. Sawaya attended NYU.  After college he rediscovered LEGO but not as a toy. Nathan has more than 1.5 million colored bricks in his New York art studio. I think his lego piece uses a sense of scale and color. Putting all these Legos together must take a lot of time, its so amazing how he can put all these legos together.
