For Copenhagen artist Marianne Eriksen Scott-Hansen, there is never a need to worry about flowers withering, because the giant bouquets he folds by hand out of various colored tissue paper always keep blooming. Every bouquet of flowers in his hands is the most unique and does not come from any template or prototype. Scott-Hansen never counts how much time he spends cutting paper, folding, and shaping each work, but focuses on the creative process. Incorporate memories of childhood country life and Danish folk art into the bouquet.
Scott-Hansen enjoys the process of using the same material to create different textures. He hopes to dialogue with the material and explore the limits of paper to the best of his ability. He believes that growing from small to large, from frugal to luxurious, is the only way to make simple tissue paper bloom into various beautiful appearances. And unlike durable, rough wood or delicate petals, tissue paper is more malleable. In his hands, the same tissue paper can be turned into a beautiful rose or a fictional carnivorous plant.

Marianne Eriksen Scott-Hansen obtained a degree in fashion design from The School of Design at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1995, and worked with the Danish version of Elle magazine Elle Denmark and fashion guru Karl Lagerfeld , French brand Hermès and other clients, he is now preparing for an installation to be presented at an international summit in Copenhagen in May.
