Paper Botanicals: Sculptures of Plants and Their Communities
From Christina Hanson's artist statement:
"Completion of these sculptures is not a fast process. Some flowers and inflorescences can take a day or more to make, a finished sculpture generally takes weeks of work. The pieces are all made by hand using various papers, professional watercolor paints and pastels. They are surprisingly sturdy, lightfast and made to last for many years. Moving forward, I plan to continue explore what flowers I can create out of paper, improve on those that I already make, expand upon the fungi and fauna components of the sculptures and I also really want to figure out how to make an orchid with a moveable hinged lip and a Venus flytrap that will snap shut. I would love to someday work with public institutions creating botanical components of natural history dioramas."
Meet the artist at an opening reception on Monday, September 9, from 5 to 7 pm.
