Steve Litsios

When he was young Litsios' mother had an important influence on his interest in paper, because she used to make illustrations on acid-free paper with frayed edges. Nowadays Steve Litsios' only reason for his interest in paper is that paper is fun. He enjoys tearing the fine fibres from each other, without really damaging anything. His workshop fills up with snippets that are put into place with one drop of ‘the medium’. Then he shapes them with a piece of clear plastic or a tight balloon. The medium he uses is pigment, and a very special one that reflects light and distributes it to prisms.
