It was only after carefully studying the professor’s work that Siliakus learned to design these precise constructions. The Amsterdam-based artist transfers the design skills of an architect to a two-dimensional form, examining and exploring how each layer intertwines and overlaps. The work, she says, is a meditative process of cutting and folding the paper into different variations. And the result is extraordinary, a testament to what can be done with just one sheet of paper.

She must have been the one doing the impressive paper cut city at the beginning of the 2011 Pet Shop Boys Ballet “The most incredible thing” in London?!
