For creative duo JUDiTH+ROLFE a piece of paper provides an endless source of inspiration and resourcefulness. While Judith is the artist and maker of the two, Rolfe is the behind-the-scenes and logistics guy. Together, they create unique paper art that has garnered both online and offline attention, having been exhibited throughout the US.

With a background in architecture, both Judith and Rolfe (who go by their first names only), are drawn to modern, simple and clean design, with themes like geometry, nature, and typography constant throughout their work. Their inspiration includes things like Japanese Kumiko screens, Islamic tile designs, Rosemåling, Art Deco details, optical illusions, wallpaper patterns, album covers, and vintage botanical illustrations.

“The reason I was initially drawn to paper is because of its availability and ease of use,” Judith relayed in an interview with Make MN. “It’s not an intimidating medium; everyone has experience with paper.”

Her techniques include quilling, folding, cutting, and layering, with the finished product handcrafted piece by piece. “I started rolling paper coils, totally fell in love with the process, the repetitiveness of which I find both meditative and relaxing,” she says.

Sena Runa is a Lisbon-based artist who transforms paper into wondrous and colorful creations. She creates paper quilling art, she twists, folds, and stack layers of thick paper to create her sculptures. Paper quilling art is considered as a contemporary twist on a technique that’s been around since the Renaissance.

“The Turkish artist uses a wide range of hues to create chromatic elephants with a rainbow of shades, or work all of the brilliant blues of the ocean into a single sea turtle,” according to Colossal. “Runa left the corporate world to make quilled paper works full-time in 2015, and wrote her own book on the topic in 2017.”

Runa shares her work on her Instagram account where she has gathered a following of over 129 thousand people, and has an Etsy store where see sells all of her creations.

JUDiTH+ROLFE are designers currently based in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Their business name is derived from their middle names – JUDITH (Daphne Lee) is the artist and maker of the operation while her partner, ROLFE (Jamie Sneed), runs the business and logistics side.

The duo loves paper as a medium of their art because of its availability and versatility. Their artworks change shape and form depending on light, shadows and perspective.

“The technique I use most can broadly be called quilling since I work with strips of paper and lay them on edge to form designs,” Lee told Colossal.

Paper quilling is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are shaped, rolled, and glued together to make decorative designs. This artistic practice was widely used during the Renaissance period, which was used  by nuns and monks to decorate religious items.

Though the art was centuries old, Lee gives her work a contemporary touch by creating large and elaborate pieces of flowers and plants, resulting to incredible 3D artworks. “The paper strips are glued individually to create the artwork, not unlike sketching with paper,” Lee said.
