with pen and
ink, but has
transitioned to
paper sculpting
because it
allows for more
influence of
depth, light, and
shadow. Also
drawn to paper

not a typical
sculptural
material.

Moisiadis uses repetitive cuts
on Kitakaka paper (has a skin-
like textural quality). Has
movement and depth through
light and shadow. Likes paper
because of its resemblance to
the human condition
(withstands expected stress,
but becomes fragile when the
unexpected occurs).

medium.
