About the Artist
Elaine Murphy first began folding paper flowers when she was learning Origami, the Japanese artform of paper folding. This led her to folding books, which involves folding each page of a book in a particular pattern to create a range of surprising results.
Elaine says, “I enjoy sourcing discarded books, visualising how they might be transformed for my craft, and then seeing my visions take shape."
Elaine exhibited her work with the North East Artisans and she participated in a group exhibition at the Bainz Gallery, Wangaratta Library in June 2016, called Inking the Flyleaf.
