Sculptures / Formation
What began as a sheet of stiff Western paper became something supple, torn, and textured—like skin shaped by memory.
Using konnyaku starch and a process inspired by traditional Japanese Momigami, the paper was kneaded by hand over weeks. While the paper was still damp and pliable, I pinched the surface rhythmically and repeatedly. Applying graphite over the surface reveals a shifting surface, where light and shadow trace a fragile, transforming terrain.
