A ubiquitous way to fasten paper to the wall is with a push pin,  I thought it would be interesting to make a paper sconce that used that familiar action. Additionally the goal was to preserve the planar quality of paper. The result is a sort of half shade that emerges from a flat plane, partially still a sheet of paper and partially a three-dimensional shape.
