I am a paper cut and spray paint artist and my work explores the notion of façades in society that conceal harsh realities.
My work is influenced by a wide range of styles, from the traditional Japanese art forms of kirie and ensō, to street art and graffiti.
Before discovering the wide array of possibilities present in paper cut art, I used acrylic paint and pencil as my primary media. However, since 2015, my interest in paper has developed and I now focus on paper cut art, cutting all my designs by hand in a meditative and spiritual process, similar to that of painting ensō circles.
My ‘Fluoro Tokyo Collection’ is inspired by the fluorescent colours and patterns of dying corals and the chaotic beauty found in urban transport and subway systems.
My detailed process involves cutting paper by hand and using spray paint to produce vibrant paintings. Additionally, I suspend my hand-cut paper pieces in fluorescent acrylic, drawing attention to the detail and precision of the artwork.
