Three-Dimensional Artifacts
Notes:
"I make paper plants and jewellery using twigs and scrap paper such as newspaper, food packages, shopping bags, wrapping paper, books and envelopes that I find in the street. I cut out those paper and fold them up to make a three dimensional forms. Originally paper was made from wood. After having been read or otherwise served their purpose, they are thrown away. My idea is that from scrap paper new life once again begins when I transform them into flower blossoms. In this way, my work represents nature's amazing ability to regenerate. I hope to explore the possibilities of recycling through my work and to encourage people to have similar respectful approach to the environment."--Artist's statement.
