說到紙雕藝術,便會聯想是一門以細致線條構成的華麗工藝,但從某種意義上來看,其實存在著非常強烈的對比: 簡單的材料但是呈現出複雜的圖像,一張空白的紙料,一枝削尖的鉛筆,加上一把俐落的刻刀,工具僅此而已,但透過一雙人手卻能雕刻出精確,複雜而優雅的紙雕藝術。來自英國的紙雕藝術家Pippa Dyrlaga正是箇中好手,在她手下,簡單的白紙削去多餘部分之後,活出栩栩如生的新生命。

Pippa Dyrlaga與剪紙藝術的相遇
Pippa Dyrlaga與剪紙藝術相遇一切算是偶然,學生時期某天畫下了剪影然後剪下,她第一次覺得這個素材有對的感覺,用一張紙無中生有的簡單成就感,激勵她繼續剪紙,之後便一心鑽研的這門藝術。她的創作包含各種尺寸,從兩公尺的巨大作品到10公分手掌大都有,題材內容多是自然中的花草植物、昆蟲、鳥禽動物,或是複雜華麗的圖騰,偶爾也會將工作室或英國的著名景色刻成作品。

曠時費神的創作過程
對Pippa Dyrlaga來說創作的過程十分重要,一切都必須從草圖開始,先大致畫出一個簡單的比例,隨著創作進行,用鉛筆一筆一筆繪製部分區域,再一點一點的刻,接著將一區一區的作品完成。一旦完成,呈現給觀眾的永遠是光潔而優雅沒有草圖的一面,藝術家工作的證據總是隱藏在背面 。由於纸是脆弱的素材,一旦錯誤就不可逆轉,必須屏氣凝神雕刻每個細節,創作過程十分曠時費神, 一個疏忽就可以毁了數小時的苦心,而Pippa每幅作品從構思到完成需要 4-100個小時不等。
