HANDMADE
PAPER-CUTTING BOOK
PERSONAL PROJECT
This project has been like one refreshing creative journey for me. It's a personal project
which I did sometime back to evolve my own creative journey. I have always
been in awe of paper-cutting. In many of my artworks I like carrying out random cuttings.
Even in my sketchbooks cutting, pasting is something which I love to maintain.
Making a storyline, then working on its frames, drawing out the designs, cutting the layout,
figuring out the negative-positive spaces, all this has been a lovely experience.
The storyline of this project revolves around the two protagonists the lion and a deer. It
narrates the nature's criteria of living and our simultaneously working food chain.
How one's survival is dependent on another, the ever-going nature's food-web and
how both the beings will eventually become one and goes into matter.
Several frames of the book, hand drawn and meticulously carved out through paper knife.
