I don't recall where I first came across Paper Couture , a lovely paper goods shop in Paddington, Sydney, but oh how I wish I was winging my way there right this minute. Taking in a bit of summer warmth would be heavenly for this northern-hemi girl, but so would a chat with the boutique's owner, paper artist Jo Neville. Jo with her globe stitched from maps photo: Jillian Leiboff Paper Couture is known for its bespoke stationery ( a new word for me - bespoke means custom-made ) ... correspondence, weddings, and events. In addition to working with beautiful papers, Jo delights in adding a touch of sewing thread to her simple, but elegant designs from time to time.

For the Boston Cyberarts Festival, Bostonian Brian Knep , who has been making some of the most exciting new media art hereabouts, presents a group of video-installations-in-progress at Boston’s Judi Rotenberg Gallery . “Frog Triplets” (at left) is a non-repeating video projected on the gallery wall showing three silhouetted frogs lined up side by side at the bottom of what looks like a competition swimming pool with blurry floating lane markers. As a blurry horizontal stripe repeatedly wipes up the image, gets to the top and then starts up from the bottom again, the frogs fidget, and seem to poop, but actually they are sprouting tails. Now and again one leaps upward, briefly becoming a translucent veiny limbless tadpole, before falling back down and becoming a frog again. His non-repeating video installation “Frog Time” (below) is similar, but it shows just one frog in lanes oriented horizontally.

Many of the parenting/design blogs are talking about the latest issue of small magazine . I am most struck by the 3D paper cut illustrations done by Jayme McGowan . Here she talks about how she started -- she was trying to quit smoking and needed a new obsessive habit to distract her. Just take a gander at her first project: You can buy her prints -- and sometimes even the originals!

The newest, "Slash: Paper Under the Knife" , opened last weekend and runs through April 4, 2010. The focus is paper--and the way contemporary artists have used paper itself as a medium, whether by cutting, tearing, burning, or shredding.
