“I’m not trying to duplicate nature. I’m trying to interpret it and capture the variety and the essence of it,” says artist Ann Wood, a creative partner for Woodlucker (@woodlucker) — a business she runs with her husband in Minneapolis. Ann has spent the last year creating three-dimensional paper art of flowers, feathers, butterflies and leaves. “I would call it drawing with scissors,” she explains. “I came to nature as a subject because I think it’s really universal. We all pause to pick up a feather, collect leaves, plant gardens. And nature is temporary. Its magnificence is fleeting, and I’m trying to speak to that notion.”
