A kingfisher perches on a tree trunk — vivid blue and green feathers, bold orange breast — set against pale green foliage and soft blue flowers. Fisher King is a giclée print taken from an original papercut by Anna Cook, one of the Braithwaite Gallery’s resident artists, and captures the extraordinary detail and delicacy that makes her work so distinctive.
Each print is hand signed and titled on the mount by the artist, and presented in an off-white mount with black core.

About the Artist
Anna tells us: “Papercutting is a really labour intensive practice that requires an enormous amount of concentration and a steady hand. With a bit of patience it produces beautiful results, backache, and a touch of eye strain — I love it!
I always start a piece by deciding on the subject. York is my adopted city so I obviously had to create a scene of my favourite place. Over the years I’ve found foxes, hares and blackbirds to be amongst the favourites and, although the jury’s out with crows and mice, I make them anyway!
All my work starts out life as a unique papercut. The originals are cut by hand using a sharp scalpel, and are one-off designs. The originals are then scanned at a very high resolution to produce mounted open edition or limited edition prints.”
