'Head Space' - Leyla Folwell, Paper Sculpture

A big part of the new studio move is to give me the space I need to expand my work. 

It s fairly limiting working from a narrow-boat living room! Time to stretch my wings : )

Although, I really have enjoyed working on a tiny scale, all my recent drawings have been 15 x 15cm and now I am making origami sculptures from 15cm squares.  I really have fallen in love with the square recently.

The last exhibition I took part in was Monochrome Set at Core Gallery

Much has passed and Core has moved to Nolia's in Southwark and it is going to fantastic working with my old friends from my 'Cor Blimey' studio days.

My game is the pursuit of happiness.

These cubes started as three dimensional collages.

They symbolize my search to feel complete.

Made mostly from my waste paper, sketches, printed photographs and my morning writing practice; they were an exercise in bringing order to what often feels like chaos.

The making process became a mediation as it often does when I use craft to express myself. The interior space has become representational of the 'head space' I require to be creative.
