Stop right there! Don't throw away that used packing tape, because this artist has a beautiful purpose for it. Trust me.
Mark Khaisman was born in Kieve, Ukraine in 1958. It was there that he studied Art and Architecture at the Moscow Architectural Institute in Russia. He now resides in Philadelphia, PA (USA) where he is known for his incredible artwork using simple packaging tape.
He calls his creations “pictorial illusions formed by light and shadow†and they all contain three very important elements: translucent packing tape, and clear acrylic or film panels, and light.
When asked why he chose to use packing tape he explained, “There are some qualities of tape that make it unique for me as an art material: its banality, humbleness and its ‘throwaway’ nature; its default settings of color and width; its unforgiving translucency; the cold and impersonal attitude that tape surface suggests.â€
Now, I’ll never be able to throw away packing tape again without thinking of all of the possibilities of what it could become.
