Artist Lizzie Thomas's incredible paper installations fit easily into a simple wooden box. They are surprisingly compact and can even be carried in a regular pocket if desired. When closed, it is a simple rectangular box, but if you open it, this ordinary thing becomes a work of art, a mysterious, fabulous world.
The Brighton-based artist creates stunning wood and paper carvings. She has always been inspired by the process of using creative materials such as wood and paper in Japanese culture and spiritual life. Having learned the techniques of folding and carving 2D and 3D sculptures, Lizzie Thomas works wonders with this creative material. Her works are a kind of surprises, you never know in advance what awaits you if you open a small box. One can only imagine what wonderful reflections of shadows can be seen from such three-dimensional mini-paper worlds, if in the dark the light of a candle falls on them. Children will definitely be delighted, and if they are also told a fairy tale with similar visual effects, they will go to bed happy.
The works of Lizzie Thomas are also interesting because they are inherent in the exposure of the moment when what is hidden unexpectedly opens up - the moment of surprise, when everyone, holding their breath, is waiting with bated breath, overcoming impatience. The artist herself says that her work is a kind of study of story, myth and metaphor. She is particularly interested in using the symbol in fairy tales and folklore and creating her own installation stories.
