Radiance
Radiance is a hand-cut and painted paper flower which has been layered to create a three-dimensional form. This was a self-directed project exploring shape, colour, and pattern, where I wanted to investigate new ways of producing intricate geometric designs using pattern, repetition, and symmetry. It also allowed me to experiment with layering to add depth and detail to an otherwise flat design, and replicate the complexity of a floral structure, despite only using simple shapes. The colour palette is reminiscent of the transition between spring and summer, and I enjoyed working with the unpredictability of watercolour to create interesting blends and blooms. As a self-led project, it was refreshing to trial new ways of working and seeing how layers and colours interact.
