Elephants’ trunks are fascinating, with their many different uses come many different movements. Sarah’s favourite is seeing it curl around itself. She focused on the curl with a peak of a tusk poking through the middle, while trying to capture the details of textured skin.

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

Sarah Lake is a self taught paper artist living in Kent. With a love of wildlife, most of her work is based on that theme. Every piece starts off with a photograph. The more layers there are, the more detail there will be in the final artwork. Each layer is then cut by hand using a scalpel. Sarah’s aim with each piece of her work is that it is indistinguishable at a distance from a regular picture, and only when seen up close does the viewer discover individual layers of paper.
