WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
Matt Shlian considers himself a “paper engineer,” and in addition to studying the material’s attributes on a nano-level, crafts and creates these beautiful works experimenting with light, balance and form. “Researchers see paper engineering as a metaphor for scientific principals;” says Shlian on his website, “I see their inquiry as a basis for artistic inspiration.” The magic of Shlian’s paper sculptures is as much in the finished result as in the process; every snip and fold is a meditation of sorts, paying reverance to the material, its kinetic energy, and its infinite potential. The results, which call to mind the latest work of Tofer Chin, aren’t so shabby either.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
