I heard that wearing embroidered blouses became fashionable in Europe during the 17th century. I wanted to recreate those stitches using paper quilling, a technique that originated in Europe, and that’s how this piece came to be. Paper quilling is a craft that was popular in 16th-century Europe; it involves rolling long, narrow strips of paper one by one to create individual parts and assemble the final piece. I hope you’ll have the chance to see these works—which blend the delicacy and depth of paper—up close.
