Redefining Paper is a project that saw eight creatives explore one of the purest, raw materials – simple white paper. Started by James Cropper Paper, the project asked these people one simple question: What is the potential of white paper? While we’ve all seen various animals created through origami, you don’t often see much beyond that.
Each participant was supplied with an unlimited amount of Porcelain, high quality, smooth white paper to do with what they pleased and the results are quite mind-blowing, most of which will have you forgetting that they’re only made from paper.
