The written word

March 16, 2009

I’ve been looking at all sorts of ways people explore the written word. I found images of the work of Aoyama Hina. She cuts her work with just a pair of scissors and the works, well, just look at them……

The art of paper cutting is something Aoyama Hina has no doubt mastered. She says of her work, “They are super fine lacy-paper-cuttings done by a simple pair of scissors. My passion is to create a finest cutoff beyond the level of the very time-consuming needle lace making. I don’t follow traditional but I am trying to create a mixture of the traditional and modern styles and to produce my own world through this super fine lacy-paper-cuttings technique.

Aoyama Hina is Japanese born and lives in France. I wish I had just an ounce of the patience it must take to cut and capture the delicacy and beauty of these works.
