Paper quilling must be in the stars for this week. First I discover the amazing paper quilled portraits by Anant Nanvare, now the work of Connecticut-based artist Amy Eisenfeld Genser.
I love the organic-ness of Amy Eisenfeld Genser‘s mixed media work. Genser uses paper quilling, the coiling and shaping of narrow paper strips, on top of a painted surface to build complex rich surfaces which look like images which could only occur in nature. Describing her work, Genser says, “My work tries to capture the essence of an experience or an image I have seen. I often look to the natural world for inspiration. I am fascinated by the flow of water, the organization of beehives, and the organic irregularity of plants, flowers, rock formations, barnacles, moss, and seaweed.”
