EXHIBITIONISTA: “Cut/Fold/Press” at Craft Alliance!
Craft Alliance 5080 Delmar Blvd., St. Louis, MO, United StatesI am thrilled to participate in "Cut/Fold/Paste" juried by artist and educator Buzz Spector at Craft Alliance!
"At times, paper is often thought as a vehicle for other artistic practices. This exhibit embraces the transformational quality of paper and the art created using paper as a primary material. Juried by Craft Alliance’s inaugural Visiting Artist, Buzz Spector, this exhibition brings together compelling work on a seemingly simple material and craft form. CUT/FOLD/PRESS asks paper artists to explore and consider the many forms that paper art takes—books, sculpture, and sheet.
The exhibition is for artists who use paper as their primary medium or create artworks made on, of, or about paper including cut paper, folded paper, woven paper, glued paper, drawings, paintings, pastels, printmaking, photographs, paper sculpture, 3D, bound books, collage, or as the subject of a video and installation."
