Shannon Couture's scissor art (Kingmaker Studio) had an idea to create three dimensional sculptures out of “found†objects. By grouping several together, a pattern forms much like crystalline and natural structures. Here is art that imitates nature, for the very best of the scissor art are the spiders.
The scissor art sculpture series is a limited edition pending the artist being able to get the required scissors in the quantities needed and at the right price. I had no idea making these sculptures could be harmful - the artist had to go to the emergency room because whilst grinding, a small piece of metal worked itself past the protective goggles. The doctor had to remove the lodged metal with an 18 gauge needle. Ouch.
Scissor Sculptures
Cutting Edge Art by Shannon Couture
Trend Themes
1. Found Object Sculptures - Opportunities exist for artists to create unique and eco-friendly sculptures out of discarded or recycled materials.
2. Three Dimensional Art - Innovative approaches to creating three dimensional art, like using scissors, can lead to new forms of expression and aesthetic appeal.
3. Art Inspired by Nature - Nature can continue to inspire artists to create unique works of art, such as sculptures that mimic crystalline or natural structures.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Design - Within the art and design industry, there is an opportunity for artists to create new forms of sculpture and inspire a new generation of artists.
2. Eco-friendly Manufacturing - Manufacturers could innovate in creating products for artists from sustainable or recycled materials for creating sculptures out of found objects.
3. Protective Gear - The protective gear industry can investigate new and improved safety gear for artists working with tools like scissors or other potentially dangerous equipment.
