About
Paper Meditations has been my hobby and passion for more than 20 years! It began when I wanted to decorate the walls of my home on a limited budget. I was determined to create something unique, so with a professional background in graphic design and lots of creativity, I knew I was up for the challenge. I experimented with folding sheets of computer paper into identical forms and then putting these modules together. Beautiful patterns and designs emerged! I was amazed that this process led to seemingly endless possibilities and was inspired to continue my exploration of paper as a sculptural medium. I have since incorporated color into my work and have added the techniques of cutting and bending paper. My process has remained the same though in that I never aim for a specific result. I let the manipulation of the paper lead me to a final piece. I like to think of it as "playing with paper." I hope you enjoy browsing through my gallery and let me know what you think.
Sincerely,
Christine M. Kirk
