What A Magnificent Paper Sculpture,

of a pair of Siamese Fighting Fish, 


all images © Lisa Lloyd, or Bettas as they are some times known, (Betta splendens),

one of Lloyd’s most recent works, “Flux,” centres on a pair of fighting fish with gracefully flowing fins, made in collaboration with the printer Barnard & Westwood, the bettas sport tiny speckles and stripes on their scales as their bodies curve toward each other,

You can see a wonderful description of her works and printers here,

 
her works will be on view through October 15 at StART Art Fair at Saatchi Gallery in London. Lloyd also generously shares insights into her process on Instagram, I have to say these are the most realistic paper fish I have ever seen, amazing!
