It's not often that the whole studio is wowed by the same thing, as we all have different tastes and likes. Such an event occurred this week though when we stumbled upon the incredible work of Bianca Chang.

Bianca is a paper artist based in Sydney, Australia and her work is indeed nothing short of a work of art! In her own words, Bianca says she is 'inspired by the subtlety of tone on tone signage and the shadow-play of 3 dimensional letterforms'. Unbelievably, Bianca creates this effect with just paper, a pencil, a scalpel and sheer patience. As you can see from the images here and on her website, that time and skill really pays off.

Each piece is created by hand, 'plotting and cutting multiple sheets of 80gsm 100% post consumer waste recycled paper'.
