Paper relief artist, Nishimura Yuko mimicking nature through the folds of paper.

You know when you get those random e-mails that don’t make it into the junk e-mail folder and then sometimes one just catches your eye? Well, that happened to me this morning when I saw this.

“Using her skilled fingers as her tools, Japanese artist Nishimura Yuko transforms large, crisp single white sheets of a special handmade paper known as kyokushi into complex geometric wall reliefs.

Wouldn’t this look gorgeous on a wall?
