Get your x-acto knives out and listen in to our newest interview with artist MingYan Helen Gu. In today’s episode, Helen walks us through her newest series of paper sculptures and the art of conceptual crafting. We learn when to reign in perfection for that “hand-made” look, everything that gets it into a gallery inventory list, and the qualities that make a superior ruler ✨📏✨ . We discuss how to navigate work to avoid being “pigeonholed” and more importantly how to keep your practice interesting to yourself. Shout out to Scrapbookpal for all your DIY needs and mom-blogs for sharing everything they know when it comes to crafting.
