a very delicate papercut by Saskia from Dunedin. Saskia Nickless' work is keeping true to her printmaking roots by working with paper. The work on paper is very delicate cut outs that play with shadow. The subject matter of this work is dealing with Native New Zealand birds and plants, using their traditional Maori names. These species themselves are delicate and this is reiterated through the medium.
The idea to use New Zealand subject matter came from researching heritage, identity and combining the cultures that Saskia is a part of.
