Description
I am a Struisbaai based artist and I work mainly with Paper. I use traditional papercutting techniques to create my artworks.
My work is inspired by the natural world, and the things I encounter around me. I started paper cutting in 2016.
My paper cut works are hand cut from a single sheet of paper. They are first drawn out by hand on the reverse of the paper, and then cut using a scalpel.
They can take hours to complete, and I find that the process is as important to me as the finished pieces. The simplicity of a blank sheet of paper appeals to me. Paper is used in so many aspects of our lives, and I want to communicate this through my work.
There is nothing as ordinary as a blank sheet of paper, but it has so many possibilities and can be turned into something beautiful or meaningful, without adding anything to it.
