Company history The Deckle Edge was started in 2005 after Dick D'Agostino returned to Baltimore after an extensive career in New York, Alexandria, VA and New Hampshire. Dick was Design Director of the Baltimore Sun for ten years in the eighties. He was electronic publishing manager for National Geographic, Madison Square Garden, Cablevision, and was a strategic management consultant with Fujitsu Consulting serving Fortune 500 companies. Dick return to sculpture with hand-made paper as the media of choice. He was eager to explore the use of paper in three dimensional forms. Dick has developed a number of new techniques and is still exploring the limits of this media. He is eager to create sculptures that are translucent and have little or no internal structures or armatures. He is presently creating paper light sculptures using Paverpol hardener from the Netherlands. He is a Certified Paverpol Instructor/Mentor and is offering paper sculpture workshops at Plaza Art Center in Towson, MD. Please check out the Process page often as new works are added while in progress. Dick is eager to share his process and would love to have you sign up for one of his paper sculpture Workshops. This fall, Dick will present a workshop creating a paper Sogetsu Ikebana. Plus, there are Photos of the Week that usually represent photographic weekend adventures. A more comprehensive collection of Dick's photography can be seen on Flickr.com and SnapVillage. For a full list of places that carry Dick's work... go to the bottom of the Paper Links page. |
