I was astonished to come across some lovely examples of the painstaking paper art of Eric Standley. Visual News reports:
Looking like 3D versions of stained glass windows or ancient mandalas, these insanely intricate paper-cut sculptures use hundreds of layers of paper to build up their peacefully meditative forms.
Each piece looks as if it was carved into a single block of multi-colored paper strata, revealing complex repeating geometric patterns buried in its depths.
Even more interesting, not only do these works have depth, but also bands or bridges of paper floating over the carved away sections below.
What results are overlapping, interwoven patterns that draw one in to explore what lies underneath.
There are many more images at the link, and at Mr. Standley's Web site. Amazing craftsmanship!
