Tulip Quartet / Orange

Tulips are one of those flowers that always grabs attention with their bold shape and colours. They can be easily stylised but still remain recognisable and are an ideal subject for me to focus on.
 
The tulip regularly appears on artworks and artefacts from different places and cultures and, combined with my love of Art Nouveau tiles, this is my homage to that flower. I particularly love the colour combinations that can be achieved and their simplistic design makes symmetrical pattern making so much easier. The colour scheme on this design, and the arrangement of the colours, is one of the more subtle variations in this series.
 
‘Tulip Quartet – Orange’ is a meticulously made layered paper cut, in bas-relief, using pieces of cut coloured paper. This design can only be achieved by layering one piece of cut paper on top of another, three or more layers thick. As some of the papers are slightly textured, they highlight the individual details and the multiple layers of paper create a subtle shadow effect.
