(iv) Cutting and pasting (collage) When paper itself is used as a material for modeling without drawing and writing, the processing methods described in (i)-(iii) should be considered. The paper which we actually touch and treat by hand is not necessarily limited to real white paper. There are many kinds of paper including papers which have already been printed and useless, and corrugated cardboard. They have unique textures. All of them are useful materials to compose plane structures. The easiest way to make use of them is to cut off and put together the necessary parts. When utilizing printed matters, new meanings and shapes can be created by further combining shapes with various meanings. The meanings of collage or Papie Core exist here. What "cutting" a sheet of a printed matter contributes to the modeling is not only to give a new meaning to the shape of the cut paper but also to give a peculiar meaning to the shape of the remainder. If these issues are skillfully treated, a strange image of new shapes emerge which never exist in the real world but have some relationships to the real world. Since photographs are taken by a camera which is
a scientific device, they are believable. Then, interesting shapes can
be created by addition or reduction of shapes using these shapes. For example,
assuming eyelashes of a person as a feather, a whole silhouette is cut
out in a shape of the bird (subtraction).
