This series consists of a sequence of thirty seven papercuts made in response to the influential book 'The Grammar of Ornament' by Owen Jones published in 1856 in which he laid out his General Principles in thirty seven propositions governing the use of design and ornament in architecture. Charlotte has liberally interpreted these 'rules' to create a new series of intricate papercuts in which the female figure is seen to move through a world of decoration and pattern. In addition Charlotte has developed these images into a series of custom made, limited edition plates which are available both as a set and individually.
