Tiffany Miller Russell works in cut paper sculpture, creating highly detailed three-dimensional collages. The sculptures are created with found specialty and imported handmade papers. Patterns, colors, and textures of the available paper are utilized, and can be subtly tinted with pastels, or collaged to mimic brushstrokes. The drawing for each piece is well-researched, from thumbnails, to behavioral gestures, to anatomical sketches, to the detailed line drawing that the artwork will be created from. The papers are cut flat, then given their sculptural shape with scoring, bending, and embossing techniques done by hand in a dry process. Exploring the limits of her art materials, Miller Russell creates sculpture that resembles painting.
