working with paper, amsterdam-based artist ingrid siliakus creates miniature works of architecture with
highly intricate details. the three-dimensional pieces incorporates the structural nature of a 90 degree angle
to delineate, in a manner resembling pop-up books, a skyline, clusters of buildings, network of stairs,
and more. the effect is often dizzying and evoke the aesthetic of M.C. escher with its orthogonal read.
delicate yet solid in its build, some of the paper sculptures are capable of collapsing down into a
two-dimensional pack.
