I’ve been working with paper for almost 11 years now. Seeing Synthetic Cubism in an art history class changed everything for me. From that moment on I dedicated myself to using paper in my art. Fast forward to 2020 and I’m still tirelessly working on my craft. Beginning in 2019 and carrying into the 2020 series, “Things I love” I decided to take a more loose and expressive approach to not only how I select the paper, but also the process of creating using paper. In addition to precision cutting, I added more loose ripping. Man, I’m so glad I did I absolutely love the results. Below are some selected pieces which show some of the ripped paper in detail.
