Amazing Paper Sculptures made by Allen and Petty Eckman. Allen Eckman's inexhaustible inspiration and the spring of ideas are Native American Indians. Allen has a great interest in the Native American Indian partly because his great-great grandmother was a Cherokee. "I really am interested in the Indians material, physical and spiritual culture and that whole period of our nations' history I find it fascinating. From the western expansion, through the Civil War and beyond is of great interest to me."
Patty has a great interest in wildlife, birds and flowers in particular. "Ever since I was a child I have had a great appreciation of wildlife. I can sit for hours and watch the birds come to my feeder. When I look at a flower I don't see just color, I see form. Wonderful shapes that the color tries to overpower." Patty has been sculpting beautiful Indian woman and children since the year 2000.
On large complicated and detailed works the couple often work together and both sign the piece when completed.

These are amazing. I work in paper and can appreciate the skill, however I would like to see better photography of the pieces.

All I can say is, these are fantastic. I was the director of an art gallery in Albuquerque, and these remind me of some cast paper pieces we used to carry, though much more intricate and skillfully done.
