Springbok Silhouette Paper Chandelier

I’ve been wanting to work with silhouettes of South African animals and this chandelier-mobile gave me the chance.  It is entitled - Sit-Spring-Stand.

It is one of a trio that I am exhibiting at The Intellectual Property 2017 Exhibition at The Plant in Station Road, Durban.

I hand-cut the paper panels with a blade and with scissors.  I finished the top and bottom points off with beater blades that I, once again, sourced at my local charity store.  They were mounted with lighting for the exhibition, so fall loosely into the chandelier range.

I had a bit of last minute drama with the piece, so didnt manage to get pictures of the whole thing assembled.  I related some of that story on Instagram 

I plan to laser-cut the pattern in the future – and create these wild-life mobiles in more durable material.
