Chisato Tamabayashi is a London-based artist who’s made a range of stunning books using cut-outs, printing and pop-ups. I thought I’d share a few of my favourites with you.<\/p>\n

9 – 5<\/strong> is a book of hand-cut images showing the shape and colour of a tree transforming through the seasons. Alongside this three miniature books nest inside the book cover illustrating smaller transformations of the tree at different speeds and times. The image below is not actually from the book because I couldn’t find any accessible photos of it. Instead these two pictures are from Chisato’s Season <\/em>series and similar enough to give you some idea of the beautiful colours and delicate nature of the work.<\/p>\n

queue<\/strong> is designed as a pop-up book and as a fold-out pop-up scene. As a book each page shows a single car that, once unfolded, line up to form a traffic jam.<\/p>\n

The last project I’ll write about is branches<\/strong> which combines elements of both of the above (and do check out Chisato’s website<\/a> because there are many more fabulous works to see!) branches<\/strong> is a pop-up book that explores the transformation of a family of trees in different seasons and of different generations. Like queue, branches<\/strong> can also be viewed as a fold-out scene showing all of the trees simultaneously.<\/p>\n

I find these books completely inspiring and after looking at these I’m impatient for my next session of bookleteer experiments (last week I played with pop-ups and I’ll write about the results of that soon). I would love to see what Chisato would make out of the bookleteer eBooks and StoryCubes..<\/p>\n

All of the projects I describe here (and more) are on Chisato’s website..<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
