Northartcraft Art Market 11th & 12th September 2021

This is a one hour walkthrough of the Northartcraft art market. I worked with a group of artists to create this opportunity for artists to show and sell their work. As well as creating themed concept exhibitions and participating with my peers on group shows I have created a selling opportunity. I think it’s important to show your work in different ways and with different focus. This focus was about artists selling work and networking with others.

Comedy and Tragedy. This original has been cut in paper by hand. I'd like to cut this in acrylic on a laser cutter. Each colour would be a separate cut and then I'd mix and match like a big inlay jigsaw. I'd end up with several versions. #papercutting #papercutart #papercutartist #lasercutting #theatre #tragedy #comedy #harrogatetheatre (at Harrogate Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKyeu2-Ht2Z/?igshid=7stq11oezljv

The art and craft of cutting paper into artistic, symbolic, and useful items is an international phenomenon with a history as old as paper itself. Papercutting has been done by school children and Chinese peasants, by skilled artists and accomplished amateurs. The resulting work can be as simple and direct as a portrait silhouette, or incredibly intricate and laden with religious symbolism. Papercuts can be found in many cultures around the world and are being made today with an eye towards both past techniques and current innovations. Kreisel presents an illustrated and annotated bibliography of books and articles on papercutting in many of its variations and natural origins, with a catalog of selected collections of papercuts that can be found in museums, historical societies, and libraries in the U.S.

I'm preparing to mix my own chemicals for a cyanotyping project. 'Oak on Oak'. I'm going to cyanotype a photograph of an oak leaf onto a small sheet of oak.
