Minu Freitag Sculpture: Pip #236

We are proud to represent these unique creations from Minu Freitag, Wellington.

Meet Pip the Forest Walker—Paper mache sculpture #236

The sculpture is hand-crafted from recycled paper mache, gold leaf, and painted with fluid acrylics.

Size (approx.) 15 cm x 6 cm x 10 cm (height x width x depth)

"Forest Walkers are absolutely adorable and incredibly well-behaved. The little furry explorers roam the Night Forest, searching for the perfect spot for their young seedlings to settle down and grow strong roots."

Minu Freitag is a New Zealand-based artist and writer. Trained as an architect and multimedia producer, she has worn many hats in the creative industries, but found her creative home as a toymaker, illustrator and writer. Drawing from her experience in commercial design and architecture in Germany, Minu Freitag now lives and works as an independent artist and maker in New Zealand. She sells her artwork, limited edition prints and plush objects in selected galleries and online.

Minu’s often anthropomorphic characters and scenes seem to emerge from forgotten tales of lonely wanderers, fantastical creatures, and woodland spirits. Her creations are caught in a juxtaposition between light and dark, melancholy and hope—shifting their shapes, revealing inner worlds, or living in symbioses with other beings.

This sculpture is handmade in Aotearoa New Zealand
