Triptych Artwork
This is a burned paper art original. Paper is wonderful in its simplicity. It is playful and minimal. It reflects light and creates shadow. These possibilities allow me to express the delicate balance that appears in my work between fragility and strength. The layered hand torn/ hand cut sheets are burned and separated by air, allows shadows to form from the edges casting delicate lines onto the next.
This extremely unique form of art explores the process of what happens when fire meets paper. Each piece is completely unique and created with multiple layers of acid free high-density paper cut/torn by hand and then burned to give a range of effects from delicate thin lines to beautiful dark edges. To create each finished artwork I spend hours designing, cutting, folding, burning and glueing paper, in order to achieve the required depth and movement. I approach the process with a mixture of curiosity and precision. Some pieces are created intuitively, while others are pre designed, with each element drawn individually and recreated in consecutive layers.
