Paper Cut Nature Scenes

This project started in 2019 and has continued ever since. I wanted to document the natural world around me by recording nature scenes in cut paper. Within this project I have started to explore my paper cutting style. I have experimented with my color pallete and how I layer paper.  All of my work is cut by hand using an x-acto knife. Several sheets of cut paper are layered together to create a sculptural effect.
