Will Garlen My concentration is a series of cut paper pieces depicting the story of a robot. This robot is created in a lab environment, escapes, and decides to travel the world and beyond. Through the use of the medium of cut paper, I am able to create the depth of the vast environments, as well as the small details of the robot. Each piece is made up of hundreds of tiny scraps of paper that I must arrange and create to fit the design. My Inspiration behind this series comes from my deep adoration of robots and my love of the whimisical side of art. Through this inspiration, I explored the concept of futuristic machines and basic mechanical engineering, while all along staying very whimsical in my art. 50
