Behold: the 1969 Mustang made entirely from paper
All of these pictures show car parts made of paper. Yes, PAPER. We feel James would approve.
They've been Clag Paste-d together by Jonathan Brand and are worryingly faithful replicas of the engine, wheels, tyres, door and door cards of a 1969 Ford Mustang coupe.
And no, Jonathan Brand does not live in his mother's basement. Nor have an impressive World of Warcraft score. He's a Brooklyn-based artist and this construction's been built for his latest exhibition, One Piece at a Time, which is showing till October 29 at the Hosfelt Gallery, New York.
So, why? The show's title is a nod to the Johnny Cash song about the Detroit assembly line worker who dreams of owning one of the Cadillacs he builds. He decides to half-inch a car one piece at a time, stashing pinched parts in his lunch box each day to bring home and reassemble.
Click on. It's rather impressive.
