Li-Chu Wu

Paper has, without doubt, many varied uses. However, multiple layered paper interests me with its subtle movement and tactile qualities. I aim to recreate the link between the material and its original source in the natural environment. Pure and organic elements reveal a delicate and subtle visual language. The pieces function both as wearable pieces of body adornment and as sculptural objects off the body. The soft and subdued tones of colour that I choose give a quiet, calm and contemplative quality to the pieces.

 Time is an essential element through the making progress; time, nature and I form my work, meticulous working processes enable me to develop a range of elements, which create the compositions. My recent paper jewellery collection includes a range of colour choices within necklaces, brooches, rings and bangles.
