Yuken Teruya

After seeing Peter Callesen's work using paper I found these works by Yuken Tertuya. He creates these sculptures out of fastfood takeaway bags and paper shopping bags. The Okinawa-born, New York-based artist creates treescapes by meticulously cutting intricate shapes from these bags. His work is fuelled by his political commentary on the environment and globalisation, and is informed by his Okinawan heritage.
