Contemporary Paper Sculptures by Artist Francene Levinson transform modular 3d Origami into beautiful museum quality fine art.
Caress
This contemporary modular direct paper sculpture
is part of a bird-life themed series."Caress" is
inspired by the dynamic line and gentle. protective caress of wings.
This paper sculpture is constructed
only of hand cut, hand folded, archival color,
inkjet paper modules, re-cycled magazine paper and Ph neutral glue. There
are approximately 3600 triangular double-pocket,
double point modules of paper linked together.
This is an ancient Chinese paper folding technique
called "Zhe Zhi." The architecture of folded,
linked and glued paper units creates a very strong
and durable sculpture medium which permits direct
paper sculpting. The science of topology dictates
the slope and curve of the surface by the number
of points linked in a circumference. Archival
paper is acid free,color stable, and generally
used as legal substrate for documentation and
suitable to last a minimum of 100 years.
