Friday fun


Friday is the day I clean my studio. It's amazing how much reference material & notes I collect over the course of a week or two. It's less about cleaning and more about sorting & refining what is laying around my desk. When I do this, it helps me clear out my mind so I can create. I think the best ideas come very intuitively and without too much 'working' of a concept but just naturally & organically. They come just as I drift off to sleep and when I'm floating in a pool and when I'm watching my dog roll on the grass. These are the moments I love the most in the creation process.  
I have a little papercut to share that came from one of these moments. It is one I created quite a while ago but I want to share it today because it is one of these intuitive pieces. It is a hand drawn & hand cut piece. To put the size into perspective it is in a 4" x 6" frame. 



I'm planning to go for a drive to the beach this weekend with my family and I'm sure I'll find some inspiration and beauty to inspire me and my next paper cut design. Here's to a great weekend ahead. Hopefully some wonderfully creative things will be made & enjoyed by all.

MIA no more

Has it really been 12mths since my last post!!! Sorry folks.

recently completed a paper-cut series based around repetitive patterns. There are 3 pieces in this series and although they look like a print, I can assure you they are hand drawn and then hand cut. There were about 12 cutting hours that went into each one and they are currently on display and for sale at Red Dog Studios Art Gallery in Samford, Queensland, Australia.
