Paper Assemblies

Time For a Change

At the beginning of my “paper period,” alongside the Kirigami based work you can see in the Archetypes 01 set, I also started a parallel series based on assemblies

Kirigami, for me, was a form of pure research, a controlled way to explore and learn to handle this new medium. As intellectually satisfying as it is, it does have its limits. That’s why over time, I gradually began exploring this approach.

Casting and Modularity

In my sculptural work, I’ve always used casting. Mostly concrete, but also, to a lesser extent, bronze, aluminum, glass, and ceramics. All in liquid form, poured into molds.

Different artists use casting in different ways, but in my case, and coming from an architectural and construction background, it is closely tied to repetition and modularity.

Repetition and Order

In construction, repetition leads to significant efficiencies.

From an architectural standpoint, it’s also fundamental. It creates rhythm, defines proportions, and structures façades. All architectural drawings are based on grids and axes.

Yes, some buildings break away from this logic, and we often end up calling them “sculptures.”

Over the past decade, I’ve studied and developed several modular systems. But regardless of the project or the material, I’ve always started the exploratory phase with paper.
