I first wanted to explore how other materials permanently effect paper, so I used fire and oil on different types of papers to see lasting effects.
Here I wanted to explore how things can be made and recognizable with only one color of paper.
The changing of the texture of paper through wrinkling created harsh shadows so I interacted with those through line.
I then explored the transparency of paper. In this piece if you look close enough you can see the figure show through from the light outside on the window.
This is how the transparency of the paper was against a solid surface; no figure could be seen.
The last 3 are all more explorations of transparency through layering paper cutouts and setting how this influences how much light shines through this thinner paper. I was surprised with how dark it got in the spots of at least 3 overlaps.
