Paper surge
So much swirls in my head, sparks fly off here and there, and feel the need to express them somehow. Saturday afternoon, after walking, coffee and seeing off Seanpaul on the train, I really felt the urge to try and express something that really resonates with me, but in a new form, paper cutting. I first came across this in China , when I visited many years ago, that’s another story for another day ( travels on Trans siberian railway, setting of from Moscow the day after Chenobyl disaster in April/May 1986 !) Anyway, papercutting has always intrigued me, so I thought I would try my own version, a cross between, paper scultpture, cutting and silhouettes. Very happy with my first attempt, although I can see there is much room for improvement!!
Renee Lalique
I recently visited the Musee D’orsay and was spellbound by the Art Nouveau collection, especially the intricate and exquisitely detailed work of Renee Lalique. The images I took of these two pieces really illustrate his amazingly detailed work.
