[Principle of Design] Paper cut

Paper Cut 

For our second Principles of Design assignment we were instructed to make paper cut outs. 

Using a3 black sugar paper placed on cartridge paper and finally mounted with mounting board it looks something like this.

My "Lucky Koi"
I made this art work to represent flexibility and endurance. A fish is limited only to water, so I symbolise its flexibility through the environment it is at. Showing how the fish is out out water and the tree branch represents land with clouds and bird representing sky, a fish is not usually a strong or powerful animal but I wanted to show how it can be.

I would say this reflects me, I was born small and weak but I try my best to be strong and adapt to my environments,

Progression

Mock

first try of paper cut, interesting. Not as easy as it seems, knife control is crucial.
And again Ms. Fu didn't seem to have trouble cutting the shapes.
