Close Encounters — Lost for Words
A studio edition papercut inspired by Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
The mothership hangs above Devil’s Tower, reduced to a black-on-black silhouette. Rather than using colour or printed detail, the image is revealed through the cuts themselves — and through the shadows they cast.
The work changes with its surroundings. In softer light, the image almost disappears into the black ground; under directional light, the structure of the mothership and the surface of Devil’s Tower become more pronounced.
The work is cut from 150gsm black paper, hand-finished, hand stitched and mounted to black acid-free, black core mount board, allowing sections of the composition to lift subtly from the surface.
