Paper Bristol

Intricate paper bristol sculpture with architecture, animals and plant life

Created in my own time after moving to Bristol to practice making my paper islands.

My self initiated Paper Bristol image was licensed and used for Visit Bristol’s 2017 summer campaign

The paper island consisted of some of Bristol’s key landmarks including the famous suspension bridge, its iconic colourful houses, SS Great Britain, M Shed, hot air balloons, food stalls, Christmas Steps.

The physical sculpture has been on a mini tour around the city and is currently on display at The Create Centre in Bristol.
