Paper is flat, rigid, it bends, tears and is mass-
manufactured. To wear it as jewellery it should be complex and flexible, textile and tear-resistant but over time probably become a valuable unicum. The combination of modern laser technology and tedious handiwork grants materials like paper and tyvek with an unexpected and surprising form. The result is a delicate structure, made from only one line which appears to have organically grown.
»Papier tragen« (wearing paper) is a sensual experience.
