About
Copper Electroformed Paper Sculptures
Lisa creates intricate three-dimensional sculptures from paper.
Layered structures are combined with experimental surface processes including acrylic paint, alcohol inks, and
copper electroforming.Inspired by natural forms such as coral, birds, and geological structures, the work explores pattern, colour, and organic texture.
The sculptures sit naturally within architectural and interior environments and can be made to commission.
Each piece begins with individually cut elements made fromYupo paper. Alcohol inks are applied to create fluid colour effects. Conductive silver paint is then added to form closed circuits across the surface.
The elements are electroformed, allowing copper to deposit onto the conductive areas. The metal is then finished and the individual components assembled into the final sculpture.
Lisa began to work with paper around 10 years ago and has produced paper artwork and sculptures for both commercial and private clients around the world. This includes commercial commissions ranging from editorial work to large scale installations and visual merchandising.
She has been working in the commercial industry for over 20 years. Starting her career as a graphic designer and animator in London, and working on TV commercials for the music industry.
After this she moved on to direct live action music videos and eventually co-owned and was the creative director of an animation company based in London.
In 2025 Lisa was awarded a scholarship with QEST and has embarked on a new journey to explore metal as a material. Creating mixed media pieces and developing new skills in metal work including electro forming paper. You can follow her journey on Instagram: lisa_lloydpaper
