Portraits Cut from Layers of Wire Mesh by Seung Mo Park


I recently found the work of korean artist Seung Mo Park. He creates giant portraits by cutting layer after layer of wire mesh. Each work begins with a photograph which is superimposed over layers of wire with a projector, then Mo Park slowly snips away areas of mesh. Each piece is several inches thick as each wire mesh that forms the final image is spaced a few finger widths apart. I have seen simliar techniques done to make work like this, ofter an image printed on to sevreal layers of glass, however Mo Park's idea of using wire mesh out outstands me.
