Brief history of Papercutting “Wen xifu yao wen shouqiao de”(If you ask for a daughter-in-law ask for nimble fingers). -Ansai Proverb Village women of grandmothers, mothers, daughters, and grand daughters made paper cutouts after a day’s housework to pass time, bond, perform healing rituals or earn extra income.
Brief history of Papercutting It is a regional craft and paper cutouts can look dramatically different from town to town, and province to province.
Brief history of Papercutting Some paper cutting masters do not draw or use templates and just cut from the mind.
My father is an art lover and amateur artist. An interior designer by training, he likes all kinds of art. When I went back to Hong Kong in 2005, he gave me his small paper cutting collection. I immediately wanted to know whether I had the chops to make them because they looked so intricate and difficult to create – Bovey Lee (http://boveylee.wordpress.com)
Artist Bovey Lee’s Template for Childhood Torture-Covering Mouth Digital Rendering & hand drawing 2006 “I am 10 out of 10 times more moved when seeing a paper cutout made by hand than a vector illustration. So in terms of spiritual and artistic versatility, there’s a sense of intimacy, romanticism, and humanity that paper cutouts exude. When I make or look at paper cutouts, I think about its long history, its diversity, its many anonymous artists, and its sheer beauty.”- Bovey Lee (http://boveylee.wordpress.com)
