The April Arts Marathon, hosted by CASP Vermont, is a month-long creative fundraiser that brings together artists across the region in support of individuals navigating the asylum process in Southern Vermont. Throughout April, I’ll be participating by creating a series of papercut illustrations focused on migratory animals.
WEEK ONE RECAP
CANADA GOOSE
This week’s piece features the Canada Goose, a familiar and powerful symbol of migration across Vermont’s skies. Created through layered papercut shapes, the composition shows both movement and perspective. I focused on balancing texture and color to give depth to the forms. Like many migratory species, Canada Geese travel vast distances seasonally, navigating changing environments in search of safety, resources, and suitable habitat.
