All the cut pieces have been made from a single sheet of paper with nothing added or taken away. ‘To draw, to cut, to score, to fold, two dimensions into three: manipulating light and shadow. The surface evolves’. Recently, her use of a laser cutter has opened many new possibilities in terms of scale, intricacy and the ability to produce editions where each identical piece can be individually manipulated to reveal itself in a multitude of ways. There is also something very satisfying about the lasers ability to draw, score and cut in one process. Toni had experimented with controlled ways of burning marks onto paper using a small blowtorch, before she made the connection of how the laser cuts using heat. In the burnt drawings, the marks made are in the paper, not on the surface. The burnt lines penetrate and often break the surface in a delicate balance of creation and destruction.
