Alain in this photo is applying 'coloured' tissue paper to his crocodile object for his Window. This tecnique is a good alternative to painting, and of course it replicates the same method as if one was applying paper mache.

As the tissue is glued to the surface, each piece naturally over laps the other.

This creates an interesting 'textural effect' and with great patience it's even possible to develop light and shade areas on paper sculptures to add to it's 3 dimensional quality.
