Ritter Art Gallery

The exhibition will take place in the Ritter Art Gallery simultaneously with Pour in the Schmidt Center Gallery.

Papercuts presents works by artists who manipulate, bend, and cut paper, creating unique pieces ranging from visual narratives to complex sculptural abstractions. Their works are bold statements that celebrate nuance, handmade craft, and a process that traces its origins back to 6th century China. Light, shadow, and color play key roles, transforming this ancient technique into a dynamism filled with delicate illusions.

Curator | Reni Gower

Artists in the Exhibition | Jaq Belcher, Béatrice Coron, Michelle Forsyth,
Reni Gower, Lenka Konopasek, Lauren Scanlon, and Daniella Woolf.
