With the simplest means - sculptures made of paper W26B22

In these times of online shopping, everyone probably has the materials used here at home: wrapping and tissue paper, cardboard, as well as flour and water.

We design and build figurative or abstract, organic shapes in sizes up to 50 cm. Individually orientated to the idea, we produce an inner base, a skeleton, which is laminated with paper. The shape can be changed at will right up to the end by applying moulded paper.

We make the binding agent for this ourselves. We make a glue from flour and water, the viscosity of which can be adjusted. In combination with the paper, this results in incredible stability and extremely low weight. Due to the lightness, there are many possibilities for presentation. The presence of the works is incredibly beautiful. We draw from the everyday, transforming something mundane into an idea that can be experienced haptically. The second dimension becomes space-occupying. Playing with the unexpected and lightness invite you to try out the unusual with the ordinary.

We work with our best tools, our hands, and a brush.

You can bring any material you like. Anything is possible, from transparent paper to tissue paper to packing paper from shipping boxes. It should be absorbent.
