Swire Island East, in collaboration with the Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation (YAF), presents Paper Tales – an awe-inspiring exhibition featuring delicate works from 11 local artists using paper as a medium to create objects of innovation and artistry. Led by the project's main artist SumSum Tse, Paper Tales will be held at Swire Island East’s ArtisTree from 11 December 2011 to 20 January 2012.
The Paper Tales flaunts mastery, originality and the divergent adaptability of paper. Artists let their imagination run wild to conceive idiosyncratic installation works, demonstrating complex paper-cutting and book carving of great finesse. Visitors will see a medley of arresting paper art forms that is not limited to fine cutting and folding – rather an eccentric and spellbinding art anatomy that has a lot to tell.
Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's Snow Goddess, Paper Tales is a magical journey in four chapters encompassing the poetic works of 11 participating artists. The story begins with Pauline Yau’s maze-like Tunnel of light and shadow opening up to a mysterious icy world.
In addition, the exhibition also offers free guided tours conducted by performers in costume and paper-cutting techniques will be taught at the paper snowflake-making workshops and participants will learn to make crafted objects with used paper.
