When I first came across washi paper in Japan I was instantly inspired because it opened my eyes to the potential of such a simple material.

German artist Angela Glajcar has taken the use of paper to the next level with her multiple series that turn this humble material into a selection of sculptural forms that are comprised of many layers.
