Spring 2022
Materials: A single sheet of printer paper, double-sided tape
About the project: Taking a single sheet of printer paper and transforming it into a sculpture with the help of cutting instruments, adhesive, and very small amounts of white thread or wire. This project is about exploring the process and creation of art using non-traditional supplies.
My process: I imagined all the things I could create with paper, the possibilities available were limited, but still vast. I found my footing by telling a story.
Inspiration: The tools of a knight or traveling mercenary. I started off with the shield, trying to make it recognizable with a slight embellishment but obviously used. Following that, a sword was easily conjured but then I still had leftover paper to find a use for. I made a coin pouch first, but it didn’t use that much paper and continuing the theme I decided to try making footwear.
