Daphne Lee is the Singaporean-born Chinese artist behind JUDiTH+ROLFE, a bespoke paper art studio based in Richmond, VA. She specializes in creating contemporary dimensional artwork out of on-edge paper strips, and her self-taught technique involves gluing individual strips of paper down on their edges. With her architectural and design background, the ancient artistry of quilling is reconceptualized with a modern sensibility.

Q&A with the ArtistTell us how your work is made.All work is done in our home studio. Individual strips of paper are cut and then carefully glued down on their edges to a backer, or to each other. The process roughly approximates the traditional craft of quilling or paper filigree work, an art form that has been around since at least the Middle Ages. In my method of working however, instead of using the decorative shapes typically associated with quilling, each strip of paper is treated as its own line. |
