PAPER SCULPTURE
Origami is a well known type of paper art but there is a rich tradition of cut paper art from many areas of the world often working with cut paper silhouettes such as Papel Picado from Mexico. Popular genres of contemporary paper sculpture include the creation of geometric forms, recreations of items in our daily life, and expressive abstract works. Paper artists have also been known to use the book as a material, carving into the pages to transform it into a sculptural investigation.
