Burgeon - the film
Burgeon is a collaboration between paper artist and jeweller Renata Fukuda and fashion and jewellery designer Marta Lisboa. Both artists share an appreciation of edgy contours and unconventional constructions. The piece plays with proportion and has a fun and appealing aesthetic.
By bringing together the stiffness of the 19th century crinoline and the airiness of puffy sleeves, the artists have experimented with the contrasting properties of paper – highlighting the structure of the sheets, the fragility of tridimensional modelling and the organic texture of the paper pulp elements.
