Peter Gentenaar is making various paper sculptures. Placed in space, they look like heavenly paper creatures descending from the sky.

How does he make them?
"A paper sheet is thin and strong and, reinforced with very thin ribs of
bamboo, can be compared to a leaf. By beating pulp a long time, an
extraordinary play of forces occurs during the drying process of my
paper sculpture. The paper shrinks considerably, up to 40%, and the
force of this puts the non-shrinking bamboo framework under stress, just
as a leaf when it drys" (gentenaar-torley.nl)
Very suitable ornaments for traditional and modern spaces, as you can see.
