Today the Department of Phenomenal Papercraft explores the work of Istanbul-based paper artist Nermin Er, who creates layered, backlit dioramas with a wonderful and sometimes whimsical narrative feel. Er also works with animation, which may explain why so many of her pieces feel like glimpses of a bigger story just waiting to be put into motion. Her delicate circular designs depicting cityscapes and dreamy forest scenes remind us of the work of Hari & Deepti (previously featured here).
