The techniques Sandy uses include cutting and folding, embossing and manual shaping. A combination of these techniques produces an aesthetically pleasing and clean-cut artwork.
Sandy’s artwork, Monstrous Overwork, is a work of paper art depicting the constant battle inside Sandy’s mind between a need for complexity and a need for simplicity. Vibrant colors are spread throughout the artwork and are made possible by using a range of tools and techniques.
Other works by Sandy can be seen in the likes of National Geographic and Volta. (anm/kes)
