Cincinnati-based artist, Jessica Wolf, began Paper Acorn back in 2009 as a creative outlet. She had been working in the package design industry and learning all about structural engineering when she decided to move on from fashioning toothpaste cartoons to making more imaginative creations. One day, she decided to craft an intricate box in the shape of an acorn using scraps of paperboard, an X-Acto knife, and a ruler. Not only was the name of her online craft shop born, but new designs and ideas quickly grew from there. / Image courtesy of Paper Acorn // Published: 6.18.20
"Finding Balance" was created for P&G Fabric Care and is displayed in their headquarters Downtown. / Image courtesy of Paper Acorn // Published: 6.18.20
Pictured: Jessica Wolf / “Arborealis” is the name of Jessica’s sculpture that she displayed in BLINK. It was located in an alley near Findlay Market and consisted of over 3,000 paper leaves, 12 LED lights, and had a soothing recording of crickets and frogs playing as people walked by it. The leaves were populated with critters like frogs, spiders, geckos, and butterflies. / Image courtesy of Paper Acorn // Published: 6.18.20

Pictured: Jessica Wolf / The sculptures are essentially collections of smaller paper pieces cut into different shapes that she carefully strings together. She designs her pieces using CAD software and cuts them into a desired shape with a cutting machine. She uses cardstock or vellum for smaller pieces and a synthetic material called Yupo for outdoors pieces. / Image courtesy of Paper Acorn // Published: 6.18.20

“My next step is to make these pieces a little more mobile so people can rent them for a wedding or something—set them up and take them down easier.” -Jessica Wolf / Image courtesy of Paper Acorn // Published: 6.18.20
“I was working in package design for about six years and it was there I learned a lot about the structural properties of paper—how you could take a two-dimensional sheet of paper and turn it into a three-dimensional object.” -Jessica Wolf / Image courtesy of Paper Acorn // Published: 6.18.20

Her piece, “Confluence”, was designed to be displayed in the Duke Energy Convention Center through a partnership they have with ArtWorks where they curate local art installations to showcase. Confluence is located in the window alcove by the Grand Ballroom, which sits behind the “A” in the large Cincinnati sign seen on the west side of the building from outside. She worked with four ArtWorks apprentices who helped cut, fold, and string around 11,000 paper circles to assemble the sculpture. It took over eight weeks to complete. / Image courtesy of Paper Acorn // Published: 6.18.20

“The flow of the piece mimics the undulating curves of the Ohio River along the Ohio/Kentucky border. The origami technique creates lines which reference the design of the iconic Music Hall rose window. Every circular piece represents the many lives and stories of the people who have built the spirit of Cincinnati over multiple generations.” -Jessica Wolf / Image courtesy of Paper Acorn // Published: 6.18.20
