The post Maude White’s Paper Art is a Love Letter to the Natural World appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>White is a paper artist from Buffalo, New York, who grew up around several visual storytellers. She was surrounded by puppeteers, toymakers, and writers growing up, but eventually decided to embrace the artistic journey of her own when she discovered the art of cutting paper.
White enjoys experimenting with positive and negative space, whose body of work is meant to open up the window to the endless world of possibilities that every piece of paper holds. She’s a huge believer in the healing power of art and wants to spread love and kindness through her work.
“I hope to encourage in the viewer emotional and mental associations with a distant or imaginary past that bring feelings of safety and peace. It is very important to me that my work should help people and should provide them with a safe space,” she writes on her official website.
Nature is White’s main source of inspiration, and many of her paper pieces take the shape of plants and animals. Birds hold a special place in her heart, and she even published a book titled Brave Birds, featuring 65 of her best paper-cut birds.
