I did know about origami, but I had never heard about this form of art. There isn’t defined a name, the artists just describe this kind of art as a unique art form. This time I will talk about an international recognized paper artist, her name is Sher Christopher and she has a very unique style for her “paper sculptures”.
Sher Christoper was born in Dorset and studied at Bournemouth and Pole College of Art and Design, before he graduated she started exhibiting in Oxford as an art club member and working with other people to make huge puppets for community festival events.
In an interview she said that she started making paper sculptures because of an accident. Everything started when she took off a year from school to study furniture design, to do that she had few resources, just paper, scissors and glue; so she started making puppets every time more complex and every time with more emotion in their expressions. She has also said what she wants to get from her job, she wants mostly people to be fascinated from what a piece of paper is capable to create.
Sher has won awards in the category of sculpture on paper, now she is well recognized nationally and internationally. Her work is really shocking; it’s amazing how she can capture all the emotion in a piece of paper and how every sculpture she does is better and better.

Hi Ale!
ResponderEliminarWow these sculptures are amazing I search some more on Google and I don’t had words to describe, is awesome that someone makes this and starts in school doing this. In a different way is a little funny or strange that a girl is called Sher Christopher but well is OK. I know the origami like you and the last week a found a paper bird in the side walk it was very beautiful that bird is awesome that people makes things like this.
Well Ale, your blog is very interesting I hope that your next articles will be like this.
