I never expected to find someone making art with packing tape. The work is very impressive by Mark Khaisman who was born in the Ukraine and studied Art and Architecture in Moscow at the Architectural Institute. He now lives and works in Philadelphia. We asked him to describe a little bit of the process of working in this medium. "My works aremade from layer upon layer of translucent packing tape, applied to clear Plexiglas and placed in front of a light box to give the image shadow and depth. I see my tape art as a form of painting. The 2-inch tape acts as a wide brush, and the light behind the panels as an alchemist's luminous blending medium. In working with tape, like in painting, accident and control are always present." Take a look at his other impressive works made from packing tape. www.khaismanstudio.com 14 October 2009 / 0 comment/s
