We were inside the Art Gallery of NSW a week ago, when we had an unexpected day in Sydney while waiting for our flight to Lord Howe Island. In an exhibition that is is part of the 18th Biennale I saw the intricate work of artist Yuken Teruya, who creates trees inside shopping bags. The upper surface of the bag is carefully cut to create the tree, which appears to be standing inside the bag. I loved this one that was crafted from a large striped paper bag.

Very cool! How big is this?
they are all normal shopping bags, some small, others shoe box size, others clothing shop size … i was fascinated!
Great creativity. Thanks a lot for sharing this stuff.
it is so inspiring to see paper being made into a tree, instead of the reverse!
thank you arindam, i hope the artist does not mind, he is very clever!
Very cool. Thanks for sharing!

Gosh who would even think of such a thing!

A very neat submission… the next time I want to bag a tree and think it cannot be done… I will remember this! Well done…
