1 Low-relief Handmade Paper Form project
Most paper is made from tree fibers. Paper is found in abundance because it has long been a highly recycled product and today trees are planted and harvested as crops on privately owned tree farms. Artists repurpose scraps of paper to create a
paper product that is uniquely colored and
textured. A sheet of paper consists of fibers that have been squeezed or locked together. These fibers can then be cut or torn to make unique edges. Paper can be folded to make forms.
You can create amazing low- relief sculptures with sheets of paper. Low-relief is a type of sculpture where parts of the sculpture project slightly from the background. When you make a
sculpture, it is important to choose a subject that is of
personal interest to you. On this page are works incorporating abstract forms and a more realistic wolf formed from paper. All of the low-reliefs shown were created by cutting, tearing, and folding handmade paper and then gluing pieces onto a flat sheet of hand constructed paper. When hung on a wall, the paper forms extend outward into the space of the room.
