(ii) Scratching
Let's try to damage the surface of paper using a
knife with a sharp edge and other blunt weapons. Because paper is used
for drawing, we may hesitate to damage the beautiful surface. However,
all the more, the wounds of the paper which has hangnails exhibit visually
strong effects.
(iii) Tearing
The shapes of paper which are cut with a knife are
surrounded by sharp and hard edges. They are felt crisp. There are many
methods of cutting paper. When tools such as a knife are not used, we tear
or break paper. The latter is more suitable to create accidental patterns.
If possible, let's try to tear paper by hand. Shapes rich in movement can
be created because the line of the crack is not straight and shows indentation.
In the case of using Japanese paper, slender fibers appear, and an emotional
feeling is sometimes generated.
