Bianca Chang- Recent Works

Using hundreds of pieces of paper, Chang creates intricate sculptures, the tedium of which is awe-inspiring.  The pure aesthetic of the finished product stands alone, but in order to appreciate the full value of the work, one must watch the stop motion of its production.  In the video, the process becomes a performance, giving scope to the creation of each piece.  If only my Art History prof would accept a ten page paper cutout in place of a ten page essay.  If it displayed even a modicum of the exactitude and consideration of Chang's art, it would be much more enjoyable for everyone involved, and have a lot more staying power.  

To any environmentalists out there: Get pumped.  Chang just saved hundreds of sheets of paper from padding the recycling bin.
