Juniper Tangpuz We will start exploring both halves of the Supernatural Museum of Paper Constructions. Lets begin by recognizing the curators: 1. Juniper Albert Tangpuz, curator of the Flat Works 2. T.J. Tangpuz, curator of the Dimensional Works Juniper Tangpuz , a soft spoken artist, enjoys quietly observing behaviors of subject matters and their relative environments, carefully investigating the possible outcomes and at times drawing numerous sketches to actively pursue a certain idea. Time spent at a junior college guided the artist to practice cartooning and sequential art. He took the helm as a cartoonist for the college newspaper. He published a book of sequential art that ultimately pushed his desire to become an illustrator and designer. He would then attend the University of Kansas. Suddenly, a strange emergence occurred. Juniper assumed the name T.J, the code name for a massive restructuring of his personal life. The arrival of the latest version of the now infamous T.J. significantly changed the course of his artwork. Earlier versions were made under intense secrecy, but efforts to stabilize were unsuccessful. It was too late to turn back. Juniper had to fully recognize the existence of T.J., a more accessible public persona. Long dormant since childhood, T.J. (the sculptor) was more of a free spirit and often unpredictable. Instead of using paper for drawing, he folded, shaped, and assembled it to create dimensional objects. With two strongly passionate sides, war raged on over who would ultimately dominate the physical structure. Development of works, success, and notoriety plunged the two into an ongoing rivalry. Finally, a compromise was made. Under the establishment of The Supernatural Museum of Paper Constructions the two were unified. They found out that they felt strongly over the use of paper, which became the bridge between the two. They shared the same enthusiasm for the illusion of movement taking form as animation in flat space and kinetics in dimensional space. Ultimately they realized that their cores they were doing the same thing- creating. They still do projects independently from one another but know that when they collaborate they can accomplish so much more and still continue to do so to this day. Juniper Albert Tangpuz, also known as T.J., is now creatively at peace.
