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.
This exhibition was also sponsored in part by VCUarts, School of the Arts at Virginia Commonwealth University.
