But get close to the staggering piece of work and it becomes clear that it is made up of tiny circles of coloured paper from a hole punch.For 18 hours a day, for the past three months, Nikki has been painstakingly sticking each dot in place with glue and a pair of tweezers.

And now the massive work, measuring 10.5ft by 7ft, is on at Manchester University. [Via]

    Making a virtue out of a level of O.C.D. that would get others medicated. Good for her! (I wish I could find how to do this with my anxiety/depression ;-)

      I did this sort of thing for a design class for the Spring ’11 semester. We had to reproduce a master painting using only hole-punch sized dots of magazine paper. The hardest part was matching the colors and coming up with an enormous amount of patience.

      Speaking from the little bit of experience I have, this is truely some awesome work she’s done!
