More Paper

I went to see the paper exhibition at Manchester Art Gallery that opened on Friday. Here are some images of the work I saw:


Wonder Forest by Manabu Hangai. He uses recycled materials in his work. These branches are suspended a couple of inches above the ground, and rotate freely and naturally in a slow and almost eerie way. It is very peacful to see them move, they are around 10 or 11 ft tall and you can walk through the forest and look at the leaves very closely. They are mixed media, primarily made of seawead, with other materials added for texture and colour. Hangai was there at the exhibition as it was the first day that the public could view the work, and he spoke about his work with a lot of passion, which inspired me greatly.
