Nayan Shrimali and Venus Hen, of The Paper Ark, method conservation and environmental activism on a tiny scale. The artists (beforehand) create miniature renditions of natural world that harness the textured, buildable potentials of paper to showcase the wonder and singularity of threatened and endangered species.
After chopping and layering tiny bits of the fabric, Shrimali and Hen add particulars with watercolor, whether or not on the striped quills of a crested porcupine or the regal crown of the peahen. Whereas largely true to life in anatomy and coloration, many of the portraits are sufficiently small to suit on the tip of a finger.
Shrimali shares that The Paper Ark has began to create hand-cranked wildlife automata, which you discover together with an in depth archive of creatures on Instagram. Store prints and obtainable originals on Etsy.
