Finding her inspiration in nature, Lisa Lloyd creates her amazing sculptures using only paper, except for the feet, with different finishes and colors following construction of the internal structure of her subject.

Lisa began in London as a graphic
designer and animator for television commercials for the movie industry until
about eight years ago when her career evolved into only the use of paper.

The installation of the White Egret
Orchid in the denim brand’s flagship store, 7 for all mankind, on Regent Street in London was the
end of May and will be on display until the beginning of July (2021). This Orchid
has been replicated for six more of their stores in Paris, Knokke, Geneva, Milan,
Frankfurt, and Amsterdam.

After studying the subject through
videos to capture their personality, Lloyd begins her sculpture by creating the
skeleton using card and paper, then completes the work through the addition of a variety of different papers to portray movement.

Details are labor intensive and defined
by scoring, folding, and fringing the paper which at times has
culminated in the use of 4,000 pieces on a single project. Weeks or even months
can be spent on a single project.

Her local natural history museum in
Hove, the Booth Museum, provides additional subject study by allowing Lisa to
go behind the scenes to study their more exotic animals.

A self-taught photographer, Lisa’s images of her sculptures are both an outlet for her creativity and a therapeutic process.
