About project

Demystifying Fees

Direct Energy approached us to help bring their idea to life using cut paper. We were hooked! What a dream it was to create everything - people, environments, the wee paper cat - from paper.

What spoke to us most about this project was how rough the edges and seams could appear. We never wanted to gloss over the fact that we were in a paper world, and we wanted the paper to shine as a material.
