■Unveiling Cast Paper ■
Cast Paper epitomizes the craft of handcrafted paper imbued with dimensionality. My approach to this art form is uniquely devised, lending it an unmistakable character.

■ Phase 1 - I intricately sculpt an original design using wax, a process whose duration varies based on the intricacy and scale of the piece.

■ Phase 2 - From the wax sculpture, a rubber mold is fashioned, enabling the replication of multiple pieces.

■ Phase 3 - 100% cotton fiber transforms into pliable pulp through grinding with water. This pulp is then meticulously shaped and pressed into the mold.

■ Phase 4 - Following a drying period, the castings undergo meticulous trimming and inspection to rectify any imperfections. Not all castings pass this exacting scrutiny.

■ Phase 5 - Each dried casting receives dedicated attention as I meticulously hand-paint them using premium acrylic pigments, investing considerable time and effort into this delicate process.

■ Phase 6 - Lastly, each casting is thoughtfully mounted for display, elevating its aesthetic allure when presented.
