Voluta
Voluta flat pack
Oh this is so lovely... it is pure love... and now love is for sale! Do you remember my post about the wonderful Mia Pearlman and her exquisite paper cuts? Well, I've just received an email from her mailing list telling me that one of her lasercut paper sculptures, Voluta, is available for sale...! *Eeek!* I hear you say... I know! I'm excited too :) I often look at these breathtaking installations in museums and dream about being able to have something similar in my home. Do you do that too? Well, now we can!
Voluta has been created in conjunction with the exhibition Slash: Paper Under the Knife at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, 7 October 2009 - 4 April 2010. Mia Pearlman will be creating a new sculpture for the exhibition, entitled Inrush. There will be artist talks and a Voluta demo. You'll also be able to purchase a Voluta sculpture from the Museum shop. Made from translucent high impact polystyrene, it comes flat-packed in a limited edition of 250, with each one individually signed and numbered by the artist. There are video tutorials on the Net to help you fashion it into an amazing swirling, three-dimensional vortex you can see above. To order your very own Voluta sculpture, click here. You can read more information here, and if you'd like to revisit Mia Pearlman's website you'll find it here.
