A journey in paper
- • Sabrina studied fashion design and model making
- • She started her own workshop in 2007
- • For her, paper is a very contemporary material to work with
Paper artist Sabrina Transiskus won't stop working on something until she feels she's made it as good as it can be. Her tools are very simple: a segment blade cutter, some glue and her own hands. She cuts everything herself in what is perhaps a rather old-fashioned way of working, but it's very important to her, since she considers it part of the creative process. For example, she may be taken in a different direction than planned if a piece of paper that was supposed to go in the bin ends up looking better than the actual cut-out. Sabrina believes that people who create something with their hands put a little bit of their soul into their work, and it's this that makes handmade products such an antidote to our fast moving, ready-made consumer world.

L'Ombre
These little tealight holders in paper were among the first creations of Sabrina’s career as a paper artist. Each piece expresses a singular way of cutting out paper and weaving strips.

Keyboard
This paper keyboard was part of a big paper Remington typewriter put on display in the window of the bookshop of the Musée Arts Décoratifs in Paris for Christmas. Snowflakes made of letters complemented the window display. While working on the typewriter step by step, Sabrina realised that its different parts look more interesting individually than the typewriter as a whole.
