Paper Cameras

The Jennifer Collier Paper Art Series is Unbelievable

— September 9, 2011 — Eco
The intricacy and detail of Jennifer Collier's work is unbelievable. The Stafford, England, gallery owner takes recycled paper and turns it into crazy cool creations.

Collier explains, "The papers themselves serve as both the inspiration and the media for my work, with the narrative of the books and papers suggesting the forms. I tend to find items then investigate a way in which they can be reused and transformed; giving new life to things that would otherwise go unloved or be thrown away."

The Origin Contemporary Craft Fair will display Collier's art from September 22 to September 28, 2011. Some of her creations include a typewriter, telephone and camera made out of paper. The Jennifer Collier paper art series is definitely something to keep an eye out for.
Trend Themes
1. Recycled Art - Artists are exploring new ways of turning discarded materials into amazing works of art, opening up opportunities for eco-friendly businesses and social enterprises to create products that balance environmental stewardship and aesthetic appeal.
2. Upcycling - Upcycling is gaining traction as a creative way of repurposing waste materials and transforming them into useful or decorative items, inspiring entrepreneurs in fashion, home decor, and industrial design to rethink their production models and supply chains.
3. Narrative Art - Artists are using storytelling techniques and literary themes to create visual narratives that engage viewers, signaling new avenues for collaboration between artists, writers, and publishers in the creative economy.
Industry Implications
1. Sustainable Design - Sustainable design firms can leverage recycled paper and other waste materials to create innovative products that appeal to eco-conscious consumers and businesses, driving sales growth and brand loyalty.
2. Creative Workshops - Creative workshops and makerspaces can offer classes and events that teach upcycling techniques and encourage creative reuse of waste materials, tapping into a growing demand for hands-on learning experiences and environmental advocacy.
3. Art Exhibitions - Art galleries and museums can showcase narrative art and recycled art installations that provoke critical thinking about environmental issues and challenge conventional notions of beauty and value in art, promoting cultural and social innovation.
