I am a paper cutting artist based in Struisbaai, South Africa.
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 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.
