Zoe Bradley - installations, sculpture and fashion

Zoe Bradley is a contemporary British artist and fashion designer best known for the paper sculturing. She started her work with paper in 2005 while working in a collaboration with the japan fashion designer Michiko Kashino. The most often techniques in her work are folding, stitching and cutting. In her most recent work she also started using laser cutting to create even more complex sillhouettes.
Bradley's favourite material is paper, but her she is also experimenting with great variety of alternative materials such as recylcled plastics, wood, fabrics and mary more.

Zoe Bradley's work is very extraordinary. As the designer states and I discover it myself while experimenting with paper, it's a vry sensitive material which could easily fall apart but the other materials could a good inspiration for my practical work as the materials she is using (cds, straws,etc.). Zoe Bradley has also worked on variaty of art decorations and which seems applicable to an actual set design for performance.  And considering the fact that theatre has been one of the designer's mains inspirations that sort of experiment could add a new Arte Povero wave to contemporary performing arts. Here are some of the decorations made by her:
