Greek artist Vally Nomidou creates life sized sculptures of human figures using nothing but paper and card board. The internal frame is built with cardboard with vertical and horizontal grid in order to give support to the structure. The outer skin is finished off with newspaper, paper towels, handmade paper and other materials salvaged from around the house, cut, sewn, glued and rubbed to achieve the realistic rendering of her subjects. Apparently, she also uses partial plaster casts.
