Nature and Paper

I love a strong piece of paper.  It lends to so many variations of shape. These are single pieces of Bristol cut and shaped by hand. These pieces seem to be accumulating into a narrative. The simpler pieces suggest mortality and the vulnerable aspect of nature. Those that are molded into more complex shapes, mime aspects of nature. I plan to re-size these pieces into 6 feet tall sculptures. I want to use these existing pieces as a model for the larger ones. The plan is to include metal sculpture to help balance the fragile paper pieces. The metal sculptures- intended to convey the infallible aspects of the natural world.
