Nature never ceases to amaze paper artist Claire Brewster. The London-based artist creates incredibly delicate paper sculptures out of maps. Some of Brewster’s paper sculptures are cut by hand and others by laser. In her artist statement Brewster explains:
“Nature is ever present, even in the most urban environments, taking over where ever we neglect, living in a separate yet parallel universe. I take my inspiration from the natural environment, creating entomological installations of flora and fauna from imagined locations. My birds, insects and flowers transcend borders and pass freely between countries with scant regard for rules of immigration or the effects of biodiversity.”
A couple of Brewster’s pieces are on view at Pitfield London until June 20, 2014. See more of Brewster’s work here.
