British artist Benjamin Shine uses a single piece of tulle (sometimes as long as 50 meters) and a household iron to create these mind-blowing masterpieces.

By carefully folding and pleating the transparent qualities of the netting in strategic places, he manages to create the lights, tones and shadows that make his portraits look like photographs. He then irons over it to keep them in place.

His artworks remind me of my previous post here where clothes iron used as an art tool.

"As well as bringing Changing States to the UK, I showed a new concept in portraiture. My idea is to 'paint' entirely with fabric. Like most fledgling projects, I had no idea if it would work. I wanted to depict Rembrandt, because he was the master of light and shade, so I scrunched, pleated and pressed a piece of black tulle to form the portrait. After about 200 hours of hard work I was massively relieved to see it come to fruition."
