A Silhouettist’s Idea of an April Fool?
AN APRIL FOOL INVITATION for event organisers to experience a ten-minute sitting in my virtual silhouette studio.
Development of the virtual studio and various applications for cutting silhouettes over Zoom. These also appear on the online silhouettes carousel.

HAVE YOU ALREADY MADE PLANS for Christmas? Or are you, like me, completely stuck? I’ve been thinking about silhouette cutting as an online ‘gift experience’ and holding onto the idea that silhouettes still make interesting and personal mementos of the unique times we’re all living through.
OVER THE FIRST FEW WEEKS of lockdown I did a series of online experiments. I began simply by inviting friends to an evening of online silhouette cutting.
DID I MENTION that I was building a time machine? Well, I’m delighted to report that my silhouette time machine is now live and active.
THE TIME-TRAVELLING silhouettist sounds like a character from a steam-punk extravaganza. I’d love to imagine I could be that man!
SOON AFTER the start of the Coronavirus lockdown all my “real world” events were cancelled. Since then, I’ve been cutting my silhouettes online, especially at Zoom parties.
I’VE BEEN ASKING MYSELF whether I could work from home. As Coronavirus spreads its way around the world it seems everybody is doing it. Could a silhouettist work this way too?
