Centering around themes like geometry, nature, and typography, their inspiration includes elements from both the natural and the cultural world: anything from Japanese Kumiko screens, Islamic tile designs, and Art Deco to optical illusions, wallpaper patterns, and vintage botanical illustrations.

“The reason I was initially drawn to paper is because of its availability and ease of use,” explained Judith (who goes only by her first name) in an interview with Make MN. “It’s not an intimidating medium; everyone has experience with paper.”

She describes her discovery of paper art as a sort of revelation, when in 2016 she was searching for personalized name gifts and couldn’t find anything she liked. “I decided to make some customized gifts myself,” she says. “Using pre-cut paper strips, I started rolling paper coils, totally fell in love with the process, the repetitiveness of which I find both meditative and relaxing, and have been working with paper almost every day since.”

While Judith is the artist and maker of the operation, Rolfe is the behind-the-scenes and logistics guy. The result is right before you.

If you look at her pieces, you can see that she is mostly focused on natural elements such as flowers and leaves. She crafts and paints them with such attention that they receive a realistic look when it comes to color and perspective.  

This art requires so much attention, precision and focus on the details and that’s exactly what you see when you look at Kim’s work. All the patterns and ornaments, they are so tiny and precise, it’s hard to believe that a human handcrafted them.  

This artist holds up to her privacy and it’s difficult to track her online, even to find out what she looks like, and yet she manages an Instagram account counting 26.6k followers!
