The work begins with a digitally manipulated face, partially obscured and interrupted, suggesting the unstable nature of memory and identity. The image is then translated into paper and reconstructed through a concertina structure, where repeated folds create rhythm, depth and shifting perspectives.</p><p style="white-space:pre-wrap;" data-rte-preserve-empty="true"></p><p style="white-space:pre-wrap;" data-rte-preserve-empty="true">Made from recycled printed paper, the work sits between collage, sculpture and image-making. As the viewer moves around it, the portrait appears to change, emerging and disappearing through the folds. The physical structure becomes an integral part of the image, turning a flat surface into a dynamic, spatial object.</p><p style="white-space:pre-wrap;" data-rte-preserve-empty="true"></p><p style="white-space:pre-wrap;" data-rte-preserve-empty="true">AFTERimage is an exploration of what remains of an image after it has been fragmented, altered and reassembled—and of how memory, like an image, is never entirely fixed.</p><p style="white-space:pre-wrap;" data-rte-preserve-empty="true"></p><p style="white-space:pre-wrap;" data-rte-preserve-empty="true">Ready to hang</p>

I fold fragments of the everyday into new forms of memory and meaning.

Paola Bazz is an Anglo-Italian artist and designer whose work transforms recycled printed matter into sculptural paper compositions. Trained in architecture, she approaches each piece as a structure built from fragments of the everyday — folding, cutting, and layering discarded pages into new visual forms. Her works explore identity, memory, and transformation, celebrating the beauty that emerges from renewal and repetition.

It’s been a pleasure working with Paola. She is a prompt communicator, quickly answering questions. I would definitely contact her again for future artwork opportunities.

The David Bowie print I bought for a client project is stunning and the 3D aspect of it comes through beautifully in the print. Amazing quality!
