In her ongoing series titled Vegetal Gradient, Sonia Poli – a Lille, France-based graphic designer and illustrator – creates fabulous 3D paper cutting forest illustrations. As materials, she uses wooden embroidery frames, watercolor paper, gouache, gold, and white Indian ink.
While following my path through the paper collage world and I simply came up with this. Tired of frames, I wanted my collage to act more like a sculpture. After playing around with fish for my previous exhibition, I used the same technique (gradiant from navy blue to a lighter/brighter colour) for another favorite thing of mine, leaves.
