Transcript
Tomy has a unique eye for pattern. He's translated his eye for pattern to laser printer and produced very fine cut paper patterns that take on a dramatic new life when rolled into three dimensions. The transformation from flat cut card to a 3D form is dramatic and requires the card to be of a certain thickness – not too thick so the card curves easily and not too thin so the sharp edges that spring out hold their crisp shape.

Tomy Ka Chun Leung

600 x 450 x 3 mm (largest)

Artist statement
‘Having no (formal) education or experience in lace or pattern-making, I have somehow managed (or been told that I have the ability) to make lace from paper. I am interested in creating optical confusions in patterns that create a new perception of a space in both two and three dimensional form.’
