Georgie Monica – Interview

We chatted to 3D illustrator and model maker Georgie Monica to talk about and paper, Greek mythology, and how to survive a zombie apocalypse.     1. How would you describe your work to someone who hasn’t seen it before? My work is a mixture of modern and traditional themes and styles, often featuring women and/or animals. I would like to think they are pictures that offer a snapshot of a wider story and that the 3D nature of them lends itself to that. And they’re all made out of paper of course!   2.

I like how paper feels and how you can bend, fold or roll a piece of paper. Its a simple material and its easy to handle. You don´t need any machines or much equipment. But what appeals most to me with paper is that something that is just flat and plain can be built in to almost anything three dimensional.     3. Flowers feature a lot in your work.
