I found these on sifter today - I thought they were pretty amazing. Now, I'll think twice about tossing the old rolls in the bin :)
Here's the story:
French artist
Junior Fritz Jacquet has been fascinated by paper since a young age. Inspired by the traditional art of origami, Jacquet explores and experiments with folding and crumpling techniques, developing an innovative style all his own.
In a series entitled
Masks, Jacquet squishes and crumples 40 different toilet paper rolls into unique and expressive faces which are then coated with shellac and various pigments. In addition to the masks below, you can find more on his
website and
Facebook page.
