Carlos Amorales


This exhibit takes my breath away! What you are looking at is 25,000 cut-paper moths. This installation is the work of Mexican artist, Carlos Amorales, one of the exhibiting artists in Slash: Paper Under the Knife. This work titled Black Cloud was created by sticking 25,000 black paper moths on the walls, ceiling, beams, corridors and even bathrooms of the exhibition space and studio. This installation is simply amazing to me. I am in awe. Above: Black Cloud (Installation view), 2007.

I hope this inspires you to do something creative today!

  2. Wow! On a smaller scale this would be a really fun way to dress up and add some color to a room (That is if you used colored ones xD).
