Paper lace
Using photographic backdrop paper, positive and
negative images are drawn, and then cut with a
large knife.
The work is designed to hang without
causing the paper to stretch. Images up to 36
feet in length and 9 feet in width are possible,
such as this example of a Tree of Life, created
for Grace Cathedral, San Francisco.

The image is made larger by triple
cutting the image on three pieces of paper and
hanging them in a triangular format.
By painting the paper first with
layers of acrylic paint, and then cutting the
image, another type of papercut is possible. The
detail of an angel is an adaptation of a Russian
Icon, and is a part of the entire piece which
measures 6' x 16'. Small processional paper lace banners can be commissioned.

into one image. Here paper origami cranes,
folded as an act of prayer for AIDS victims
and their families, are hung as a sculpture.
