Etopima's Creations and Process

 Art Review In this essay I will be reviewing and discussing the article titled "Meticulously handcrafted paper objects by Zim & Zhou, because I found their art style and objects to be the most inspiring. "The Art of Saving a Life" , Paper sculpture by Zim & Zhou "Forest Folks" , Paper installation by Zim and Zou "Genetic Manipulation"  , a part of the   "Edible Monsters"  series of Sculpture installations  by Zim and Zou Parts of the "Spring Cleaning" series of Paper sculptures by Zim and Zou To my understanding, both of the artists have backgrounds in design and mostly create paper art for renowned companies, organizations, and individuals.  This can be in the form of campaigns and advertising.  They also work on personal projects and exhibit their Artworks professionally in gallery spaces and international art fairs.

While a valid point, I chose not to adhere to this and instead focused on the object itself because I feel as though it is complete on its own. 'Busy' does not always equate to 'better'. Others pointed out how the 'running shoes' mashup in particular was their favourite in terms of its humour as well as seamless visual appearance. I ended up choosing to refine this mashup for my asssignment. I used the flat tool, smooth tool, symmetry, and colour tools, amongst others, to create the final look.  My creation relates t
