While researching Kiri-E traditional Japanese paper cutting, I came across this video of a modern Japanese artist Tomoko Shioyasu who takes giant sheets of tracing paper and cuts them with a razor blade from (I believe) the blown up image of a leaf. This creates a giant intricate lacework which is sandwiched between transparent material (probably plexiglass) and when light is shown through the cutting, it transforms the space it is in through light and shadow.
