Coloured paper silhouettes
Matte coloured paper cut flat and lit from the front, with soft drop shadows and four colours a frame. People are profile silhouettes in one colour each, jointed like puppets. Here her silhouette fills with night sky and the clouds inside it carry her children's profiles.

Looks that sit near it
- Old stencil-coloured tarotBlack outlines with flat colour that slips off the lines, on aged card. The camera moves into a card and its picture comes alive in stiff steps.
- Silhouette cut-paperLacy black paper puppets in layers against a glowing, tinted sky.
- Cut paper with depthA paper diorama filmed by a moving camera: every piece is textured card with a lit cut edge, casting a soft shadow on the layer behind. Scenes change like a pop-up book, folding flat and springing up around the character.
- Painted paper layersA paper theatre of painted plates: every sky, hill, street and prop is its own sheet of hand-painted, cut or torn paper, and code moves them past each other at their own depths, each sheet casting a soft shadow on the one behind.
