Two Stags

Deer are such beautiful creatures and fascinating to observe at any time of the year. It was coming up to Christmas and it was time to put a long thought of idea into action. This design evokes the feeling of a crisp winter’s day with these two being at ease in their environment. 

This piece focuses on the deer’s shape and their markings, which have been stylised to reinforce the theme of nature. Deer are larger than you’d expect therefore it seemed fitting to have them fill the foreground and have a colourful, stylised woodland as their backdrop.

The artwork has been precisely hand-made using layers of cut, pearlescent and plain coloured papers forming a bas-relief.  The pearlescent gold has a really attractive sheen and adds sophistication to the piece, enhancing the other colours, subtly emphasising the shapes and details. This design can only be achieved by layering one section of cut paper on top of another, three or more layers thick. Some of the papers are slightly textured and subtle shadows have been created by the cutting and layering of the papers.
