Paul Edwards was born in 1970 and currently live in Cape Town. He has his MAFA from the University of Natal and has won a few award for his art. More info, click here.



The artist uses many lines, of different lengths, branching off each other to create a tree branch shape. All the branches created are contained in a oval shape(top picture).
I picked this piece because I like how detailed, yet simple, it is.To me, it shows that embossing can include little details. It shows me what blind embossing is capable of, and gives me ideas for any future embossings I might do.
