Marianne Eriksen Scott-Hansen, a Danish artist, has shifted her focus from fashion and jewelry to creating large, handmade paper flowers, embracing paper cutting as a medium. With roots in Danish traditions of paper cuttings, she draws inspiration from the historical practice of trading cuttings in letters. Her background includes a master's in fashion design and a previous cult label, Daughters of Style. Her work reflects both her artistic evolution and the rich cultural heritage of paper art in Denmark, engaging with flowers like ranunculuses and thistles.
Every child in Denmark gets into paper cutting when they can operate a pair of scissors.
Paper attracted her more and more as a material you don't have to be precious with.
With a history in fashion and jewelry, Ms. Scott-Hansen has turned to paper cutting, creating large and elaborate ranunculuses, roses, marigolds, thistles, air plants, passion flowers and other flora.
The letters influenced paper cuttings created by the fairy tale writer Hans Christian Andersen.
