Lu Shengzhong has cut thousands of frogs by hand. In an exhibition at the V&A (spectacular crafts) he has displayed them in glass cabinets along with the offcuts. The frogs are red for good luck. I like his meticulous approach and the way that the individual strands of paper create a larger overall structure. I want to follow this up by experimenting with paper, looking at its qualities when folded, scored, layered, bent and twisted.
