Tell us a little about your piece?

My piece is a repeated swirling pattern with opaque blocks. The pieces overlap and swirl into each other. I wanted to create the illusion where you can't tell which lines are on top or bottom, and confuse the eye when following the various lines.. 

​

What was the most challenging part of the brief?

I usually cut most of my patterns freehand - but I wanted to create a piece based on a pattern that I drew out beforehand. The longer lines were difficult for me to cut sticking to the drawn out pattern!

​

What part of the collaboration did you enjoy the most?

I really enjoyed trying out this new style, and creating something more abstract that my usual pieces.  It has given me the idea for a series of abstract pieces that I plan to create next.

How did you enjoy working with Excel Blades, tools?

Excel has always been my choice for blades to use so those weren't new to me. I had never tried using the tweezers and I absolutely loved it. I've been using them now for other pieces and for tasks around the studio!
