Lorraine Bubar: Papercut Perspectives
The art of paper cutting transcends time and cultures; this universality is what drew local artist Lorraine Bubar to it as a form of expression. The former animation pro turned her attention to cutting and composing with fine colored Asian papers to depict the exquisite beauty of the natural world. Bubar’s papercuts reveal the hierarchy of nature and the intricate layers within it. The symmetry and lacey patterns she incorporates allude to the complex fractals to be found in nature itself. The scale and extent to which the artist pushes the medium, emphasize both the strength and fragility that humble paper possesses.
