a number of artist,
that use paper as their medium and a knife as their tool of choice,
and this artist Maude White,
we featured back in July 2015,
has honed her skills if such a thing was possible,
White
has worked in paper for the last several years, first exploring her signature
medium with simple silhouettes and popup books,
the New York-based artist now focuses on the organic forms of
female portraits, flowers, and birds, “Every piece I create has its own
identity,” White explains, “The knife, and me, and the paper are all in a
dialog together, all talking and getting along. The last thing I do is cut it
out of the surrounding paper. It comes alive, or is born, and we meet each
other for the first time. It’s a completely living thing apart from me.”
She shares her work online with a Squarespace portfolio
site, the self-taught artist has been able to reach a worldwide audience and
find success, in addition to her gallery-ready original papercuts, White has
partnered with Abrams Books and Paralax Press to release two books Leading
with Love and Brave Birds, all photographs by Maude White, it is beyond me how these can be made in such fine detail, but they are!
