Originating from Sarawak, Borneo, Ceres Lau is an artist whose work is rooted in a close relationship with paper. She works primarily through carving, shaping paper into detailed forms using careful control rather than added layers.
Drawing from botanical and organic structures, her compositions are developed through precision, where forms are built directly from a single sheet of paper. This process reflects her hands-on approach, with a strong sensitivity to surface, weight, and how each elements sits within the whole. Light also plays a crucial role in her work, gradually revealing hidden details as it moves across the surface. These subtle shifts allow each piece to change gently with its surroundings, creating a quiet sense of depth and atmosphere.
