''Plucking'' is the main technique used in all my paper sculptures and installations. Here, I separate the fibers of the Japanese hand-made paper using a tiny pushpin. The resultant paper resembles a lace fabric, which I then use to make individual works. ''Plucked'' paper is delicate, yet strong. I have used acrylic polymer to strengthen the larger pieces
