The Art of Paper




During the weekend I had the chance to visit the Green Hill Center's current exhibition titled REGROWTH. One of the featured artists, Ann Resnick, showcased large works created in paper and amazing floral sculptures. The pieces made from burnt paper were stunning and ethereal. Each mark had purpose, and the burnt edges added an extra dose of lovely detail. Check out more great work by Ann Resnick.

    Gorgeous! It's amazing what people can make with such simple materials. You should check out artist Kirsten Hassenfeld too, she does amazing things with paper.
