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).

advice i think we should tell children is that when adults say stuff like ‘now that i’m an adult i get really excited about stuff like coffee tables and bathrooms and rugs etc’ they don’t mean ‘and now i don’t care about blorbo and squimbus from my childhood tv shows anymore’ bc your average adult still loves all the same pop culture stuff they always did; they just have a greater appreciation for the mundane as well. growing up just means you can enjoy life twice as much now. you can get really excited about a new stuffed animal AND about a new kitchen sponge. peace and love

actually the most significant difference between fanfiction and Serious Literature is by and large the latter is written by people whose life circumstances aligned such that they had at least the bare minimum of time and energy needed to write a novel, whereas fic authors will upload an equivalent amount of words in a single chapter update between the ceremony and reception on their wedding day because an earthquake hit and they “had some free time” while the search and rescue team was digging them out of the collapsed church
