Design Nation - Jennifer Collier

Website: www.jennifercollier.co.uk

Paper pioneer Jennifer Collier creates exquisite sculptures from vintage recycled materials in
conjunction with stitch; a contemporary twist on traditional textiles. The papers serve as both the
inspiration and the media for the work, with the narrative suggesting the forms. Through this
marriage of unlikely materials old papers are transformed into something truly unique, delicate
and complex.
