Appreciations towards Pippa Dyrlaga for providing the following description:

作为一名艺术家，Pippa Dyrlaga利用传统剪纸技巧，创造当代艺术。她的创作的包含各种尺寸，从两米高到十厘米大小的都有。 同时她的创作也几乎总是会用一张简单干净的白纸开始的。创作中， 她会首先画出一个简单的比例，随着创作的进行，每一个区域做大量的修改， 因此随着创作的进行，最终结果总是和最初规划有着巨大变化。因为最终结果是翻过来的，Pippa Dyrlaga会用铅笔把标记画在背面， 同时，所有的文本与图片都必须反着被画出。 纸这种材质是如此地脆弱，同时，一旦错误就不可逆转。 利用这种材料创作者必须极其小心， 一个疏忽就可以毁了数小时的功夫。

Pippa Dyrlaga is a paper cutting artist using traditional papercutting techniques to create contemporary artworks. Her artwork ranges in size from ten centimetres to two metres high. She will almost always use a single, clean sheet of white paper for her work. She will first draw out a simple guide for the layout of the image. She tends to do much of her editing whilst she is working on the piece, and they can change significantly from the original layout as they progress. She will add the detail into the piece as she is cutting. All text and images must be drawn out in reverse, because the finished piece is flipped around so any pencil marks are on the back, and the final image is nice and clean. Paper is so delicate and un-forgiving; one has to be incredibly careful whilst working on it. A simple slip can destroy hours of work.

她的童年大部分时光是在运河船上度过的。 当年居住在水道边的乡间的时光，那里优良的不列颠自然风光，一直启发着她的作品。同时她也关注过去的建筑和文化，这些关注也经常性地反映在她作品里。

She lived on a canal boat for much of her childhood. Living in a rural place near the waterways, surrounded by the best of British wildlife, has inspired much of her work. She is also interested in older architecture and culture, and these also feature frequently in her work.

对Pippa Dyrlaga来说，创作这些作品的过程和作品本身同样重要。 过程宁静而专注， 仅用双手，同时极其花费时间。 她从创作的过程本身收获了冷静，专注， 和耐心。 这些从创作中收获的品质在她生活的每一方面都能体现。Pippa Dyrlaga 在2006年 从Leeds Metropolitan 大学获得当代艺术实践的学位。 之后她回到母校， 又于2011年完成了她艺术和设计的研究生学位。 她现居于Yorkshire的 Hebden Bridge的家庭工作室中。

The process of making the work is as significant to Pippa Dyrlaga as the finished piece. It’s very calming and meditative. It is manual, and takes a long time. She gets a lot out of the process of making her work. It makes her feel very calm, focused and patient, which she can take away from it and use in other aspects of her life. Pippa Dyrlaga completed her Degree in Contemporary Art Practice at Leeds Metropolitan University in 2006. She then went back to the same university to complete her MA in Art and Design and Curation which she completed in 2011. She is now based in Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire, where she works from a home studio.
