Didi Dunphy, exhibit curator, traveled across Georgia to select contemporary artists to participate. Cut and Paste: Works of Paper examines ways in which working artists manipulate paper to create remarkable and varied works of art. She will lead a conversation with three of the eleven artists included in the exhibit, discussing inspiration, technique, and experiences.
Throughout Samuel Stabler’s career, he has worked and re-worked found images. His cut paper works in the exhibit are inspired by sources ranging from the Old Masters to contemporary pop culture. http://www.samuelstabler.com/
Kalina Wińska is an associate professor at Valdosta State University. Her mixed-media drawings on paper are inspired by weather analysis: essentially “abstracted snapshots of cloudscapes visibly marked with human activity.” http://www.kalinawinska.com/
Atlanta-based Matt Haffner is a photographer and mixed-media and installation artist. Haffner’s works included in the exhibit are made from humble materials that “are an exercise in simplicity and nuance.” http://matthaffner.com/
