Papier-mâché Critters
March 11th, 2009
We are totally charmed by Nancy Winn’s papier-mâché animal kingdom. The expressions, the funky forms, and the off-kilter imagination make her creations stand out.
Nancy describes her process: “I often incorporate postage stamps, comics, fiber, antiquated sheet music, maps, eyes, whiskers, feathers, and fur to capture a peculiar characteristic or oddball quirk. Unruly and challenging critters may require more than twenty hours of handwork over many weeks.” Nancy has turned unwanted materials into artistic forms.
Nancy Winn’s work is currently shown in The Graton Gallery. Visit Nancy’s Web site at www.nancywinnsundawg.com
