Paper Sculpture
I recently returned from a trip to China. I was captivated by the hundreds of lanterns that I saw everywhere. I am exploring using paper to create three dimensional objects that reference the lantern form.

In China the lantern has been a symbol of hope, rejuvenation, joyfulness, good luck and renewal of the Earth. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar cycle lanterns are featured to celebrate with the Festival of Light.
