February 2009
| Cutting out paper is a therapeutic process, similar to stitching. Different cultures have different paper cutting art. I saw a lot of Chinese paper cutting designs in Singapore, especially at Chinese New Year time. Japan has Monkiri paper cutting. February 2009 work shows my attempt at this combined with black ink stain. And boxes! What is it with boxes? They appear in many of my works. Repetitive pattern taken from traditional Japanese paper were cut out from the tracing paper. This acted as a screen for my current work. The stacked boxes hover behind the ornate, half transparent screen and also stand autonomously, on its own. Containing what? Why are they here? Are they waiting to be sent off or to be unpacked? |
