Libby Black’s Designer Paper Sculptures

by

Libby Black‘s sculptures are delicately pieced together paper, hot glue, and acrylic paint.  In this way she recreates everyday objects as designer products.  Though Black’s sculptures are constructed with care, each is clearly playful. Rather than use a heavy-handed sarcasm, she seems careful to be at once ironic and earnest, critical and in praise of materialism.  Her sculptures effectively investigate a complex love/hate relationship with a name brand life.

Appropriately, Libby Black’s enviable ‘luxury’ sculptures are featured in the “Seven Deadly Sins” themed Beautiful/Decay Book: 9.  Be sure to check out Black and many other amazing artists, illustrators, designers, and writers also featured in the book.

They’re amazing!
