Le Plieur: Origami Masks
ExhibitionMay 21, 2009 to May 31, 2009Espace Hortense (P'tit Bonheur)
Junior Jacquet, called Le Plieur (The Folder), who is a French artist from Haiti, has manipulated paper since his childhood. Over the years, he has perfected the art of folding – and has developed his own special techniques. In his hands, materials as simple as a roll of toilet paper, become expressive and unique miniature masks, and this through simply folding – no scissors or glue. A magical universe to be discovered by all ages!
