Description

Even as we move to digitized images and social media, our love affair with paper art has by no means diminished over the years. Folded into origami and kirigami, laser-cut, layered and made into sculptures, paper artists can transform a humble sheet of paper into a spectacular piece of artwork. Accessible to all, paper endures as a medium to make notes, lists, memos, letters, ads, and artwork— once the most intimate means of communication, and the most readily discarded.
