PRODUCT DESIGNER AND CONTEMPORARY ARTIST BRIAN CHAFFIN HAS LOVED ALL THINGS ART AND DESIGN FOR AS LONG AS HE CAN REMEMBER.
IN LATE 2016, A CASUAL CONVERSATION ON RECYCLING AND RENEWABILITY SET AN IDEA IN MOTION OF USING SHREDDED PAPER AS THE FOCAL POINT FOR SUSTAINABLE, TEXTURAL WORKS.
THE LONGVIEW, TEXAS, NATIVE SCOUTS FOR PAPER MATERIAL ( THINK TRAVEL VISITOR CENTERS, ANTIQUE STORES, FLEA MARKETS, ESTATE SALES ) THAT CATCHES HIS EYE, HAS AN INTERESTING ELEMENT, AND A COOL BACKSTORY. THE END RESULTS ARE WORKS, OFTEN DESCRIBED AS WALL SCULPTURES, THAT COME TO LIFE THROUGH HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS OF TINY PAPER PIECES ON CANVAS, CREATING A COMPELLING AND CONVERSATIONAL VISUAL EXPERIENCE.
IF YOU’RE CURIOUS ABOUT A SPECIAL COMMISSION OR PROJECT, SEND BRIAN A NOTE. HE’D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU.
