    • Her works are constructed from paper that she has made herself from kozo, ganpi, cotton and ramie. The unitary method of construction she uses enables her to cover large areas; ‘Walking Around The lake’ comprises 60 pieces.

    The 5 towers of paper ‘Water Pillar’, each nearly 6 metres high, are also constructed from a modular system. The final installation is already in her mind as she makes the paper, the space, and the work within the space take on equal value becoming one integrated whole.
