American artist Kirtsten Hassenfeld can bring jewels and lightweight chandelier to any window front, room or space with her paper installations. She lives in New York but studied at a University in Tuscon Arizona and the at the Rhode Island School of Design.
Kirsten has admitted, in a previous Huffington Post interview, that she believes her work is a manifestation of her views on feminism, gender roles and how that affects personal relationships. This is very obvious in her use of jewels, petals and a lightweight medium such as paper. They support her beliefs as they are ironically associated with femininity and fairy tales.
She starts by making individual pieces of intricate paper manipulation and then puts them all together randomly. This results in a display of pretty, organized chaos that challenges our definition of a window as being just a translucent barrier between our private space and that of the public.
