In brief, the show is about cutout layered paper.

Intricate shapes are cut out from each layer to reveal colors and shapes in the layer(s) below it. When all layers are assembled, a complete image is created. Once I have taken an image and determined the necessary layers (using Photoshop), I cutout the paper squares, typically four to eight per image. I use acid free / archival papers; no glue, or markings are used. I usually assemble the layers in a CD tray -- and that allows the owner to open the tray and examine the individual pieces. Or, alternatively, the piece can be mounted in a traditional frame. I think you will find that this process for creating paper art is unique, and interesting in itself.

The focus of this show was a series of butterflies I recently completed.

All pieces displayed at Artomatic were available at a discounted price. You will be able to find pricing information and more details on my web site.
