    Hi all,
    2 framed pictures, each one is 14" x 18". To me it looks like the pieces have been cut-out and then glued/attached somehow in place. Is there a name for this process? I'll put the 2nd one in the next post
    Any information appreciated
    thanks for looking

    Paper cutting is an ancient japanese art. Typically, they are intricate cut outs placed against a background for contrast. I have seen pictures such as yours created from cut paper but a bit different. Wonder if your could be by or inspired by Masayuki Miyata, who did similar work.

    Japanese papercutting is called Kirie, but as far as I know it is one colour paper against a background of another colour, much like old-fashioned silhouettes. I don't know if this would be Kirie or something else.
    Here is some amazing Kirie art:

    Thank-you Brad and AJ for your replies:)
    I'll do some digging and see what I can find!
    Wow, thank-you for those example AJ, they truly are amazing! What a steady hand you would need to create them.
