I make paper pulp artwork from the cardboard and paper that would otherwise end up in the bin. Shipping boxes, leftover paper, cardboard offcuts — soaked, blended, shaped by hand, and dried slowly into something that lasts. It's one of the most satisfying things I do, and the material cost is essentially zero. What you're paying for when you buy one of these pieces is the time, the process, and the fact that it exists nowhere else.
Here are the paper pulp pieces I'm most proud of right now — and which one might be right for your wall.
Ancient Paper Clay Relief Art — best for texture
Ancient Handmade Paper Clay Relief Art — built up by hand, layer by layer
This is the most sculptural piece in the collection. I built it up while the pulp was still wet, working the surface by hand before it dried into something that looks genuinely ancient — weathered, architectural, calm. It sits beautifully on a wooden shelf with a lamp beside it, or on a white wall where the texture can breathe. One of a kind, framed, ready to hang. Available in the Slow Art Series.
A Blue Devil — best for character and colour
A Blue Devil (made to scare evil away) — original paper pulp wall sculpture
Blue, orange, tactile, and slightly menacing — this one was made to hang on a wall and watch over the room. The horns and ridges throw real shadows as the light shifts, so the expression changes through the day. It's one of my most approachable originals in terms of price, and one of the most characterful. See the Blue Devil here.
Paper Pulp Rocket Man — best for a playful room
Paper Pulp Rocket Man — bold colour blocks in handmade paper pulp
Mosaic-inspired, bold, and energetic. This one works in a studio, a creative workspace, or a kid's room where you want something that has real presence without taking itself too seriously. Made from paper pulp with the same finish and attention as everything else — just built around colour and movement rather than calm. See Rocket Man here.
Not ready for an original? Start with a print
A Drop Of Milk Poster — affordable print of an original paper pulp artwork
Not everyone wants to spend on an original straight away, and that makes complete sense. The prints of the originals are a lower-cost way into the work — same designs, same graphic quality, printed on 189 g/m² archival matte paper and shipped in a protective tube. A good way to see whether the work belongs on your wall before committing to an original.
All paper pulp artwork is handmade by me in Denmark, signed, and one of a kind. Browse the full paper pulp original artwork collection — or get in touch if you have something specific in mind.
