Quilled Paper Sculptures by Lisa Nilsson

Juxtapoz // Tuesday, 12 Mar 2013

Lisa Nilsson constructed these incredible anatomical sculptures using a technique called quilling or paper filigree. By rolling and shaping narrow strips of Japanese mulberry paper and the gilded edges of old books, the artist has created "densely squished and lovely internal landscape of the human body in cross section." (via artstormer)
