]]> Joan Grubin’s paper installations are breath-taking.  As an added dimension, the backs of the papers are brightly colored so that they reflect off the walls of the installation, giving another dimension and depth to what is already an amazing display.

exhalation

EXHALATION is a large wall installation in which a pattern of concave diamonds appears to well up out of the void of the white wall. The diamonds are articulated with thin strips of painted paper attached to the wall. Fluorescent paint on the backs of the strips reflects color onto the wall behind, giving the 3D diamonds an implied volume. At the outer limits of the pattern, the diamonds become two dimensional, until finally they are drawn on the wall with pencil.

One Piece of Paper

]]> While these works of paper art aren’t exactly going to stay inside your journal I did find them inspirational for visual journal ideas. Has anyone tried any pop-up ideas in their journals? I did a quick google and came up with a list of how to pop-up books which might be worth looking at if you’re at all interested in trying this idea in your journal. There are even some simple ideas to get you started making your own pop-ups.

If you know any cool sites on pop-ups, please share them in the comments section below.
