Ukraine born Artist Mark Khaisman specialises in the niche market of recreating old film stills and photographs with none other than good old trusty Scotch Tape.
The former Architect, now based in Philidelphia, Khaisman say's he creates his work by using, " layer upon layer of translucent packing tape, applied to clear Plexiglas and placed in front of a light box to give the image shadow and depth. The 2-inch tape acts as a wide brush, and the light behind the panels as an alchemist's luminous blending medium."
On Khaisman's website he says it takes him a whole week to complete each new piece. He found this "tapework" technique by accident and was a natural progression from experimenting with glass work and playing with lighting effects. The overall effect fascinates me, but I can only imagine it looks 10 times more impressive in real life.
