You ever bend a paperclip out of shape and bend it into another, much more fun shape? I know I\u2019ve done it a few times in the past, mostly when I was bored and on my lonesome and felt no need to bind several sheets of paper together. Most of my creations were cats and people or, to be more specific, disfigured felines (which for some reason looked like canines) and short-legged, big-headed hunchbacks, like the bell-ringer of Notre Dame. I wasn\u2019t exactly Van Gogh with a paperclip – I was always more of a Picasso.<\/p>\n

Hayley Dix, however, is a much better bender of bits of steel wire than I ever was, as shown in her remarkable new art project, \u201cWire Wonderland.\u201d In it, the Middlesex University graduate creates deceptively simple but utterly stunning wireframes of woodland critters – birds and foxes, etc. – perched on and crawling across real-life fallen branches. And it looks marvelous.<\/p>\n

As stated on Dix\u2019s official website, \u201cAlmost as if to reincarnate the wood each piece displays a fragment of a story which is directly inspired by the environment in which it was found.\u201d Below, you can check out images from \u201cWire Wonderland,\u201d which has been selected for display at the 2012 New Designers One Year On exhibition in London.<\/p>\n
