In the striking series “Rare”, presented by thepaperarkstore.com, the exquisite beauty and uniqueness of rare genetic mutations such as Albinism and Melanism are brought to life through paper art. This collection, featuring 20 images, illuminates the elegance of birds and other wildlife possessing these distinctive genetic traits. Each piece commences with a detailed sketch, laying the foundation for the intricate process that follows. The fur or feathers of these animals are then meticulously crafted from paper, cut in multiple layers with a precision knife to capture their natural essence. These layers are subsequently delicately coloured using watercolours, ensuring the hues match the species’ authentic tones. The culmination of this process is a hand-assembled, 2.5-dimensional paper sculpture that not only showcases the artist’s extraordinary skill but also highlights the inherent beauty found within these rare genetic mutations.
