My paper cut-outs are made using scissors or a scalpel. They are either cut from found paper, or as stencils to use in printmaking. They form chance groupings and relationships, both between the figures and the content of the paper materials. My recent cut outs have formed individual or groups of bathers, which have long been used by artists to explore notions of beauty and tradition, an escape from urban life, our relationship with nature, togetherness and isolation. I enjoy using paper and historical printed matter: fragile, finite and used less frequently in relation to digital media.
