Francesca Pastine's Beautiful Magazine Sculptures

  I found an article on Francesca Pastine's work that really stood out for me. Morgana Matus explains in her article on inhabit.com, "The arts and culture publication Artforum may be used to commenting on the world of museums and galleries, but now they find themselves as the work of art itself. In her Artforum Excavation Series, Francesca Pastine carves the magazines to form colorful, sculptural pieces that seem to melt down the wall, fold in on themselves, and form sculptural structures. Using an Xacto blade, the San Francsico-based artist painstakingly carved each page creating what she calls 'unsolicited collaborations.'"
