Elly Mackay creates theatre with paper. These cinematic scenes are all hand cut out of Yupo paper, illustrated and photographed by the US artist and mother. With the same attention to detail as a filmmaker, Elly lights and styles her pieces, bringing the boys and girls in their magical settings to life. Sometimes cute, sometimes spooky, Elly’s laboured process most definitely pays off and gives a simple sheet of paper a life of its own. We especially like the process page on her site.
