Isobel Napier
Using archival paper and laser-cutting technology, Isobel Napier designs and creates intricately constructed paper sculptures that resemble woven fabric.
Cut line-by-line to leave the strands of warp threads, a solid, coherent form, is irreversibly changed into one that is extremely fragile and transient, with the hanging works becoming almost soft and flowing. These digitally designed, machine-made sculptures echo traditional weaving, considering how the development of material experimentation has allowed contemporary makers to expand on and learn from traditional textile production.
