Paper Sculptures at Seden’s Workshop

Toronto-based multidisciplinary artist Seden Lai specializes in using paper as a primary medium for her sculptural and functional works.

At her design studio, Seden’s Workshop, her creations bridge sculpture and paper craft, including lamps, floral designs and pleated boxes.
