After Ken Eastman's talk yesterday, seeing his piece ''Cut out teapot and cups'', I felt that I could try to do something similar with my paper cuts. So I tried to build a piece from paper using again silhouettes I used before. After making it, using light source, I was interested in images of shadows and cut out silhouettes mixed together. I think they make together kind of interesting images.

Ken Eastman
Ken Eastman is English ceramist. He exhibits widely internationally and has won many prestigious awards in the field of the ceramic arts. The core of his work centres around the idea of the vessel. His vessels are not functional, but they are subjects-to give meaning and form to an expression.
I found his talk very inspiring, way he talked about his work and art.

After looking at other artist work who worked with paper cuts and paper mache I have decided to continue work on paper cuts. I would like to create a busy street view and people passing through this space.

Paul Graham The Present
Two or three shots of the same place in New York City, taken only seconds apart from the same point of view. Same figures are in these shots but each time different viewpoint, figures come into focus that were blurred before. What would these places be without the people who inhabit them? These images deal with question of awareness and consciousness: with how much we see, and how we see it.
