Original artwork description:

Olga was inspired by frozen bubbles of methane trapped beneath Alberta’s Lake Abraham in Canada and wanted to show beautiful deep purple color of amethyst paper with the help of depth and layers of paper circles.
She gives the depth to her work by using double-sided sticky foam between the layers. The distinguishing feature is the paper edge cut at an angle, as this creates smoother transitions from light to shadow. The beveled edge of paper was painted with gold acrylic paint. The paper sculpture techniques give the artwork a greater illusion of 3D.

Materials used:

paper, gold leafing paint, foam board
