Lenka Konopasek’s paper sculptures are constructed from fragile paper parts resembling architectural elements, painstakingly hand made and assembled into larger installations. Her constructions are explorations of natural and manmade disasters in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional mediums. These objects emerge from her personal anxieties as they collide with current world events. Konopasek says of her work, “Images of natural disasters, or war, are disturbing and damaging, yet the sheer brute force and brutality can be intoxicating and seductive.” Konopasek translates these images into more abstract structures creating scenes and objects bristling with tension somewhere between beautiful and dangerous.
