Paper to perfection: how Ann Wood brings nature to life with paper

Ann Wood, a Minneapolis-based artist, possesses the uncanny ability to transform ordinary paper into breathtakingly realistic sculptures of the natural world. From delicate butterflies with shimmering wings to plump, juicy vegetables, Wood’s meticulous attention to detail and masterful use of texture blur the lines between art and reality. Her creations capture the essence of their subjects, from the proud stance of a majestic stag beetle to the unfurling petals of a rose. Wood’s background growing up on a farm is evident in her deep appreciation for the natural world, which she translates into each paper masterpiece.

There’s a certain magic to Wood’s sculptures. By using paper, a material typically associated with impermanence, she imbues her creations with a sense of enduring beauty. Each piece is a testament to the transformative power of art, reminding us of the intricate details and captivating splendor that surrounds us every day.
