Nov 6, 2010: Cut Paper Letters

Gravdigr · 11-07-2010, 02:23 PM

I can appreciate someone's dedication to craft, and the difficulty required to create such things as in the picture above without liking the end result, or recognizing it as art as I see it. And it is possible to have this type of opinion without being all Wal-Mart and shit.

And besides, it's Wal-Mart, not Walm-Art. Who would go to Wal-Mart to look for art anyway?

She's got craft - but it's wasted on the mundane scribbles of writings she has chosen as subjects.

Not only is calligraphy beautiful - thus making her end product much better looking, but the paper it's written on, is high quality.

She works too hard to only have her art appreciated by the few who wrote out the scribbled originals she chose to cut out.

If pearls before swine is stupid, surely scribbles before an artist, is a caution, at least.

I see her end product as just a tad creepy:

"Yes, Monday through Friday she labored for years, to cut these delicate shapes out of paper."

"Had to lock her up, when it drove her mad. She took to cutting out artwork on the sidewalls of tires, poor thing."

Pearls before swine, indeed.

Sadly, one might be surprised.
