Paper Rolls Art By Anastassia Elias

These toilet tube dioramas were created by Anastassia Elias. A good artist doesn’t necessarily need expensive materials to do good work. French painter/collage artist proves this with the tiny scenes she creates inside of cardboard toilet-paper tubes.
Anastassia Elias is an assistant Professor with the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering at the University of Alberta. As a PhD student in Electrical and Computer Engineering she developed techniques for patterning a variety of materials on the micro and nanoscale to create thermally and chemically-responsive microactuator devices. During this degree she spent nearly 2 years in the Netherlands undertaking collaborative research with the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven and Philips Research. She also worked together with researchers from Brown University to study the alignment of liquid crystals in porous templates.
