With each piece requiring hours upon hours of designing, cutting, folding, and gluing, the artist approaches the process with a mixture of curiosity and precision

Each piece by Fitzgerald Juskova is based on a specific mathematical relationship, symmetry, or sequence, and usually based on basic platonic shapes. To create each finished artwork she spends hours designing, cutting, folding, and gluing paper, in order to achieve the required depth and movement. She approaches the process with a mixture of curiosity and precision. Some pieces are created intuitively, while others are pre-designed with every single cut carefully measured.
