Paper Cuts for Crossrail Exhibiton

In preparation for the "Tunnel Visions" Crossrail exhibition, I have been working on my 'piece' 
this involved taking a trip down to the front of the tunnel, as it was being built, photographs, sketches, a lot of research, and then setting out this:


I drew it first, and then cut out the shapes. I've been working with a few layers, to get some tonal variation and layering... I wanted to capture the size, precision and movement of the engineers and the machine as they built a section of the Tunnel.
