ArtistMarianne Eriksen-Scott Hansencreates paper couture featuring larger-than-life blooms crafted from tissue paper.
Its as if they are fixtures in a candy-hued dreamscape.
Experimentation is a central focus of Hansens paper creations.
I work artistically and intuitively but with the foundation of a very wide and life-long crafts experience.
Its all in the hands so to speak.
I want to enter into a dialogue with the material.
Work my way into it.
Exploring rather than mere' re-working and investigation.
Seeing how far you could stretch' paper.
In crafting her own version of blooms, Hansen recognizes how her process mimics nature itself.
Contrasts, symmetry, harmony.
By my hand, the paper is returned to the organic material from which it originates.

I treat the paper firmly as it were rope, bark, branches.
Or delicately like dried grass or porous petals.
