________________________________
Elizabeth’s body of work demonstrates her own unique style of papercutting by replacing the traditional use of scissors for an x-acto knife and mixing up the conventional form of papercutting with her own experiments. For example, “I incorporate papercuttings in my altered books as well as making books by hand using papercutting techniques for the book pages. Each papercutting is one of kind. “Even if I recreate a design I can’t help but change a component to create a one of a kind papercutting”.
Images for Elizabeth’s papercuttings are inspired by her everyday experiences.
