Art Making/Material Exploration

Installation art is when the artist modifies a space in some way and then asks us to enter, explore and experience it.  The art defines the space or sculptures in the round.
Materials used for installation art is some space or room, table or floor or ceiling, any and all objects the artist chooses. 
Installation art is created by the artist to make people think and get involved.  Gives you something to look at and talk about. 
The artist and installation I found most interesting was Yayoi Kusama, Fireflies on the Water, 2002.
After researching online I was drawn to the installations using paper. Nature’s Maze, 2005,              90 x 55 x 3 cm.    http://www.petercallesen.com/index/Largepapercutinstallations.htm
 
  Paper can do more than receive our thoughts, it can be inspirational, beautiful, tell stories.
The materials used were paper, scissors, table, creativity.
The installation needs to be located on a flat surface like the kitchen table.
