Here’s a paper chain with meaning. Auckland artist Tracey Cannon is using her latest exhibition to show how the mental health system is failing some people. Her experience with mental health issues and being admitted to an Israeli psychiatric hospital in her 20s inspired her art, Chain of Events.

This is a sweet tutorial for making an origami fortune cookie. When I lived in NYC and worked at Dieu Donné Papermill, we printed up paper fortunes and had them inserted into our own custom fortune cookies in Chinatown!

I love this sentiment about the substrate that the artist Zarina uses in her work: “Paper — sheets of creamy surfaces that reveal an extraordinary range of tones and textures — forms the core of Zarina Hashmi’s epic showing at Gallery Espace in New Delhi“. Some of the headlines are great too: Prayer and Geometry, Abstract yet Minimal. And the title of the show: Weaving Darkness and Silence. If you find yourself in New Delhi, have a look at her work at Gallery Espace, on view until March 3, 2018.

This is a great article about how designer Anna Bond built Rifle Paper Company, which started in her garage, into a multi-million dollar company.
