Making It: Paper Cut Demonstration with Sue Potter

Saturday 18 February 2023, 2-4pm | FREE

Making It exhibitor Sue Potter will be demonstrating her paper cut technique at MAKE Southwest in our Jubilee Gallery.

With a background in graphic design and architecture, Sue’s printmaking is influenced by both disciplines. Her work explores the graphic flat colour achieved from the relief process, the depth and surface texture of intaglio, the counterpoint between flat, crisp colour and random surface granulation, the complexity and simplicity of geometry and the visual playfulness of pattern and repetition.

Sue is also fascinated by the process of blind embossing which creates ethereal and enigmatic surface textures. Recently, she has been experimenting with cutting and folding the embossed surface to create an additional layer of texture and three dimensionality, and has been captivated by the resulting, unexpected, ever-changing cacophony of shadows that play across the surface.

In addition, Sue has started to explore the effects of an array of component elements, using repetition to construct a larger, dynamic image.
