JAPANESE PAPER CUTTING

Kirigami is a Japanese paper cutting art style. The word was derived from 2 Japanese words: Kiru (to cut) and Kami (paper). It is a variation of Origami that adds cutting. My variation involves cutting printed subject matter over and over again and layering atop one another to form a new 3D version of the original 2D image. I have applied this technique to many different subjects and finding new ones all the time. Hope you enjoy looking at them as much I did making them.
