Portfolio Example & Materials Statement
Kilie Johnston

I create sculptures out of paper. I am inspired by traditional ways in my culture. It is a paper sculpture created by layering paper until I get my desired shape then I paint them and use adornments such as abalone or other precious minerals or fur.I also do beadwork. I use size 12 beads and smaller. I make my own cabs with my mom. I wanted to apply for sculpture and bead work but it won't let me go back.
