Holiday Gift Guide Part 2 | Layered Light and Form

Layered Copper and Paper Sculptures

Few things transform a space like the gentle glow and subtle texture of Nancy Mintz’s sculptural works. Each piece combines hand-forged copper wire with delicately layered Japanese paper, creating ethereal, husk-like forms that catch the light in unexpected ways. Whether placed on a mantel, side table, or as a wall-hung focal point, Mintz’s sculptures radiate warmth and presence, inviting quiet contemplation. These works are perfect for the homebody who values tactile beauty and the subtle drama of layered materials.
