Card Cuts
My card cuts are high contrast images. They look like block prints, but are originals and are made using mounting board. I first started playing with this process while I was an art student. Occasionally small pieces of left over mounting board became available and I took a blade to them. Later I also experimented using different coloured mounting boards in one image. By lifting out pieces of the darker top layer, the lighter layer below is revealed creating a strictly two tone, often high contrast image. Here, the very limitations of the process are what excites me – even the softest tones and the most complex images must be rendered in terms of just light and dark. My card-cuts are often sparked off by a memory, a place or an event.
