12/11/2012 The First Cut Exhibition

I noticed that there was a paper cutting exhibition on at The Manchester Art Gallery. It featured some artists which I have previously carried out research on and some others that I had never heard of before, the collection and variation in the artists was massive.

Danielle told me that our next unit would be based on manipulation and different ways in which we can manipulate fabrics of our choice, I thought that the exhibition would therefore be relevant to my work as I was interested in working with paper. 

When I first arrived at the gallery there didnt appear to be that much of the paper cutting work, as there were just a few pieces located around the gallery, however, after much confusion I managed to find the main room. There were many different styles of work using different methods of cutting and manipulating paper. The work was a massive inspiration for me and I plan on using the artists work throughout this project and cannot include all the work from the gallery in this post, I have included just a few highlights.
