Kristi Malakoff

Canadian visual artist Kristi Malakoff is amazing.

This is a life-size (18′ tall pole) PAPER CUTTING:

‘Maibaum’

Look at this. LOOK at it.

This is also crazy awesome. She took high-resolution photographs of flowers. 23,000 photographs, to be exact. Then she carefully cut each flower. Then she did this with them.

‘The Glade’

Amazing! I spent way to much time with my face against my computer staring at that Maypole paper cutting, because wow. You can see more pictures of her absolutely fantastic work, which also includes tissue paper sculptures, amazing cuttings using stamps and money, and giant installations, on her website, kristimalakoff.com. GO LOOK.
