The image here is created by cutting the paper rather than drawing on it. Painter and printmaker Charlotte Hodes has described how 'the cut line of the scalpel blade is an equivalent to the line of the pencil.' The technique has the advantage of creating two images, a positive and negative; it also produces texture, effectively making a low-relief sculpture.
