3-D paper cuttings by Simone Lourenco, originally from Rio de Janiero. Lourenco currently has work in Miniatures! at Brooklyn gallery, Art 101.
I found her work on Brown Paper Bag where Sara aptly describes Lourenco’s work as “intricate systems and designs from a sheet of paper, layering and developing what looks like living organisms.” Unlike other artists working with paper, Simone deliberately overworks the material, pushing it as far as she can. The effect is compelling: these pieces are messy and chaotic like the depths of an overgrown jungle.
