I’m a big, big fan of Matt Shlian’s work. An MFA graduate from Cranbrook, Matt is both a teacher and creator of some pretty spectacular paper art. He recently finished a project with Ghostly that is just stunning. He did a series of raised tessellation pieces that look so pretty I think I’d be too scared to touch them for fear of damaging the beautiful details. Matt has several of these tessellation pieces for sale at Ghostly right now ($125–$200 each), so if you’re looking for some visual inspiration (or new artwork for your home), click here to check out the full series. xo, grace

These are stunning. I can’t believe this is all done with paper!
very nice…
I love the juxtaposition of simplicity/complexity.
So beautiful!
Now that’s gorgeous.
These are so pleasing. I am wondering if they are treated or protected somehow from yellowing over time? I would recommend these to a daring client if I could assure them that their new, funky art would last and is easy to dust gently! Thanks for sharing :)
Ah, paper… Crisp and white…
How cool! Unbelievable it is all done with paper!
Thanks for the post Grace! They are made with acid free and archival materials.
