Leah RJ Forde: SAATCHI GALLERY: PAPER ART

During a visit to the Saatchi Gallery, I was intrigued by the amount of art work made by just paper, whether it be paper bags, newspaper or even coffee cups. The many methods used to create different textures and to construct the pieces were very inspiring. Whilst some focused on surface pattern and colour, the majority of the work made up sculptures on a larger scale or small intricate 3-Dimensional designs.

What inspired me the most were the various outcomes of using a simple material. My personal designing style doesn't consist of many colours, as I tend to focus more on the silhouette and structure of a garment. This reminded me of a quote from my favourite designer Yohji Yamamoto "‘White is the absence of colour, black is the presence of all colours". However some of the colourful installations were very awe-inspiring.
