Hand Cut Paper Art, the hand cut artwork is by the paper artist Lisa Rodden. She’s an Australian artist who uses her crafting ability in cutting, slicing and folding to produce beautiful art.
The process she takes in producing such work involves having two overlapping layers. The bottom layer is the painting layer, painted using acrylic, with white paper being used as the top layer.
The next step is to carefully slice, cut and fold specific of the covering paper, revealing some of the pain below. Working in such a way grants her the control she needs in producing the image she intended.
This form of working closely resembles the 2 and a half D approach. The idea of representing something as 3D, when its essence remains 2D, is the basic concept.The works produced emphasizes her care, attention to detail and concentration, as these are required qualities needed in producing work as this standard.
