I worked with lasercutting paper for a commission for Paper Assist, a paper supply company working with some beautiful Italian Fedrigoni papers. In August the Dublin based office of Paper Assist asked me to develop a paper installation for their showroom just outside of Dublin city. I made vector files and lasercut them based on the J.G.Ballard book The Crystal World. This book brings together nature and science fiction, using concepts from quantum physics to merge the two. The shapes included monstera leaves and other tropical plants and flowers, insects, birds and animals. I devised a self-supporting interlocking hanging mechanism for the paper shapes so that they could ‘hang’ out of each other and I could install it in a naturally growing way.
