Pop-up art

I began to look at some pop-up art to try to stimulate my thinking towards initial ideas and possibly a final outcome. I came across some extremely detailed art in which the artist has started with a magazine or book, cut shapes out and laid them out in a pop-up form. An example is below.

The work in this piece has incredible detail- this then led me to think about the laser cutter and what opportunities that could bring. Making a pop-up book of my own would be possible as the intricate shapes I want that are too detailed to do by hand can be done on the laser cutter. I am going to try this technique and see what ideas it brings to mind.
