Paper sculptures evoke a sense of awe and wonder, as they blur the boundaries between reality and fantasy. They invite us to explore the interplay of light and shadow, unveiling hidden layers of intricacy and nuance. The fragility of paper adds an ephemeral quality, reminding us of the transient nature of art and existence. These sculptures showcase the versatility of paper, transforming it into a vessel for expressing emotions, telling stories, and capturing fleeting moments.

The books are full of stories and we enjoy imagining how they might come to life for real. Over the years, the talented artist Emma Taylor has become an expert in the field by creating sublime sculptures from the paper pages of books.

Since childhood, the British creative has been fascinated by nature and the trees from which the papers derive. After a degree in art history from University College London obtained in 2017, she continues to devote herself to what makes her vibrate and pushes her research even further.

She thus made a name for herself by creating intriguing and meticulous paper sculptures from books. For this, she exclusively uses second-hand books from which she comes to draw critical points from their story to carve them out of the pages and thereby create magnificent animal sculptures in relief and much more.
