Photoset reblogged from Fancy Art with 376 notes
Paige Smith of A Common Name and of A Common Blog painstakingly crafts these beautiful folded paper geodes to fill lonely voids in the urban Los Angeles cityscape. Paige spends her time making and installing these so that the public may experience the joy of finding a glimmering hidden treasure where they might least expect one. Her work is in fact so beautiful that most of her geodes have been removed and presumably taken home by greedy art lovers. If anyone has any information as the the where about of any of these works of art please call 213-973-9931.
