Artist at Lauren Ryan eschews more traditional media when making animal sculptures—instead she favors the humble pipe cleaner.
Ryan bends, curls and intertwines the pipe cleaners together to form amazingly adorable, fuzzy and lifelike critters.
A purist, she never uses glue in her work, thinking of it as cheating, and only sometimes uses scissors.
Continually improving, Ryan has recreated a variety of creatures, from real wolves, to fictional wolf spirits from the video game ‘Ōkami’.
