Paper in Motion

Process

Judith Wombwell begins her creative process by making archival digital prints on unryu rice paper of her original photographic abstractions of subjects, elements and forms found in nature.

Then, by hand, she shapes her prints by making hundreds of gestures as she creases and folds her image into juxtaposed patterns, shapes and a labyrinth of layered three dimensional geometric surfaces, edges, textures and colors.  These patterns consist of traditional folds, most tessellations, and much of her work is influenced by Tomoko Fuse and Ilan Garibi.

Her pieces are available in four distinctive forms:

​

• Framed Collage Works

• Paper Quilts

• 3D Origami Sculptures.

• Hold To Light Foldings

Judith accepts commissions and will work in each of these four forms.  Commissions begin with a conversation to determine content that will be memorable, be it  a meaningful location, garden, natural setting, event or artifact.  A digital mock up, will be presented for approval of the commission, and then the folding will begin!
