A series of scluptural works created through the cutting, scoring and folding of paper.



Sliceforms comprise several interlocking sheets intersecting at right angles to create forms that suggest three dimensionality.




'Elements of repetition within architecture are very appealing to me, I’m drawn to the way structures can be produced with sets of repeating elements, each of which is simple in its own right, yet contributes to create a complex and rigid structure.' - Richard Sweeney.

This work appealed to me because of it's initial complexity and the smooth forms these sharp shapes are able to create. However, on taking a closer look, as mentioned by Sweeney, you can see that it is not so complex as first thought.
