About
yeiou paper objects is the studio of Arlington artist Abigail McMurray, who uses paper as her primary medium to make art celebrating home and the importance of place in people’s life stories. Her work includes framed cut-paper maps of special towns, cities, islands and lakes, along with custom 3D house portraits and house portrait silhouettes that render a favorite home’s details and dimensions as a one-of-a-kind paper sculpture meant to be kept as an heirloom.
Custom map orders are collaborative. Buyers choose the place, a background color from more than 20 options or an original abstract painting, monoprint or collaged background, and an optional house, heart or plain marker pinpointing a home, school, wedding venue or office. McMurray sends a digital mockup for review and changes before cutting and framing the piece. The online shop also carries craft kits, fine art prints, laser cut ornaments and pinback buttons, and her blog reflects on living a creative life.
