Paper is one of the simplest, most accessible yet most capricious of media. Perhaps it is this property that enables papercut art to attract a broad range of viewers: women and men, children and the elderly. It cannot leave one indifferent, because the effect of lightness and delicacy requires the artist to dedicate so much time and painstaking concentration that the viewer is mystified by the incredible patience and talent that it takes to carve out such a graceful work of art.
