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.
