Gold Turtle Doves on Blue

‘Gold turtle doves on blue’ is the same design as ‘Two turtle doves’ but on this iteration a silhouette version has been created where the design of the leaves has been further developed to accommodate this paired back style. The gold on green really does give this design a more traditional, Arts and Crafts appearance but with a modern twist.

The turtle doves’ plumage has been stylised to facilitate pattern making and is emphasised by the use of shimmering gold pearlescent card against a dark blue background, giving the impression of an embossed design. This allows the viewer to really focus on the birds and the decorative design. The birds are central to this artwork and are surrounded by foliage to give the turtle doves a sense of place and safety within their rural environment.

‘Gold Turtle Doves on Blue’ is a meticulously made layered paper cut, in bas-relief. This design can only be achieved by layering one piece of cut paper on top of another. As the papers are slightly textured, they highlight the individual details and subtle shadows are created by the layering of the paper.
