I discovered this completely by accident when I left one of my paper cuts on top of a piece of sugar paper in the sunlight for a few days in my studio. When I went to move the piece of paper I realised that the sunlight had bleached the paper around the paper cut, and the areas that were not exposed to the sunlight had retained their original colour.
I’d always shied away from creating prints of my paper cuts because after ward they would be void as it would eventually break the paper, so this is quite an interesting way to create the same effect without damaging any of the pieces.
