Topography in paper

[sheepBlue]

I have fallen in love with topography art - just something about how the lines move is so beautiful. I wanted to create some art to emulate that so I came up with this:

I cut a stack of Rives BFK cotton fiber paper (super awesome paper, great for printmaking as well as for art purposes in general) and started cutting. It was done randomly, I think next time I might try to have an intentional shape or subject to drive the overall appearance.  







And here's a weird picture my camera + photo processor came up with. I thought it was appropriately arty lol.

This is awesome!!!  Do you start with the top sheet or the bottom sheet?

I started with the top and went down.

Beautiful movement and it just makes me want to touch it, walk my fingers down each step.

very cool sheepblue!  I'm digging the random topography without colour...

Thank you

That's amazing!  It turned out beautifully!

Is the stack of paper glued together somehow?

Hah I probably should have mentioned it in the first post; I sealed it with modge podge.

oohh! It is lovely! I like the organic look to it. I agree with cankle - I want to touch it (tactile art!)

I would love something like this on my wall.  (hurries off to find this cottonsomethingorot her paper you speak off.... okay, so I'll wait until Thursday, when I'm in the city, and will make a more clear mental note before going into the craft store)
