About

Papier-mache is a crafting technique that involves creating objects using paper pieces or pulp bound with an adhesive, such as glue or starch. It is often used to make decorative items, masks, and sculptures, and has been a popular method for creating art and crafts across various cultures for centuries.

Observations

The style presents handmade papier-mâché sculptures with visibly crumpled, layered, and folded surfaces, retaining seams and rough modelling marks. Strongly painted red, blue, white, and ochre areas create graphic patterning and bold sculptural silhouettes, photographed as carefully arranged tabletop or gallery objects.
