My 'chop' is translated:

 

"Revealing the Nature Spirits through Paper and Light"

Welcome!

   This site is a visual collection of paper light sculptures, hand-made paper artwork, and photography created by

Richard (Dick) D'Agostino. Paper sculptures are handmade and one-of-a kind.

                                                     

 This site attracted visitors from 52 countries. I have tried to say 'hello' in everyone's language - If I missed yours, please send me a note.

"The Light Within" exhibit runs through Sept. 6 !

 

 

Thirty of my sculptures are featured in a solo show - through Sept. 6, 2008 at Harmony Hall in Fort Washington, MD

I hope those in the Baltimore/Washington area will come and see my sculptures, and Bob Madden's National Geograpic Society photographs.

Photos of the reception are on the Exhibition page.

 

Thanks to Jossie and Jan de Roode - PaverPress, the newsletter of Paverpol, did an article about me - "The circle is closed".
