Polly Verity, artist based in Edinburgh creates sculpture in wire.
From Alice in wonderland (and Alice Through the Looking Glass) creatures such as the tove, the
rocking horse fly and the dodo to other mythological creatures such as the harpy, the gryphon
(or griffin) and the Egyptian man/bird, Ba.
The sculptures are created in wire frame and covered in taut tissue paper.
They are placed in antique glass domes.
Paper dresses are created using origami or paper folding techniques such as pleating, concertina folds
and other special folding techniques devised by Polly and her folding friends such as Ray Schamp
These paper dresses can be worn for performance, as a paper wedding dress or just because you can.
Polly has worn a paper dress for a fashion show, a paper dress for a wedding and also a paper dress
