BINOCULARS

Paper arts doesn’t get too much buzz in the world of contemporary art making. Some may associate it with casual 2D paper cutout figures, others maybe collages and origami. Although this form of medium has rules and constraints, trust that Sydneybased artist Benja Harney pushes the limits and gives a whole new meaning to the medium. Looking at his works, it is hard to believe that these dynamic and vivid creations are simply made from plain paper. A paper engineer who expresses his distinct style and perception of reality in the commercial and artistic field, Harney’s ensembles and assemblages have chiseled out his space as one a luminary of the medium. In August 2011, Harney held his first solo exhibition Paper Attic at Object Gallery in Australia.
