Paper Relief
This paper relief process builds images through the careful stacking of layered paper. Shaped and arranged layers use edges, overlaps, and negative space to define form, creating depth, shadow, and surface variation that echo the tactile qualities of traditional relief printmaking while exploring color, texture, and depth through the materiality of paper.
