Minneapolis-based artist Ann Wood is a master at creating figurative paper works. She transforms this malleable material into extraordinarily realistic sculptures of animals, plants, vegetables, flowers, and mushrooms. In partnership with Dean Lucker, Ann owns the visual studio Woodlucker. This partnership is based on both individual and collaborative practices.
Ann creates mixed media portraits and theatrical tableaus of mysterious beauty and solace whose identity is grounded in the timeless aesthetic and ethic of rural America. Dean’s work is driven by a passion for vernacular animated traditions which combine a personalized mythology to create mechanical storytelling. Their collaborative work combines a love for illustrated paper art and forgotten histories into engaging objects full of sentiment and longing.
