Chinese Rice Paper Cutout
Cutting paper has been around for a long time in many cultures and traditions.
Bovey Lee‘s work is inspired by Chinese paper cutting but at
the same time defies it, breaking every traditional rule there
is. Lee’s professional career as a cut paper artist came at the time when the
medium, as interpreted by her peers, gradually gained traction and attention in
the international art stage. In an exclusive interview with Design Boom, Lee
shares the story behind the process. “Using the very same Chinese rice paper for
calligraphy, I define what I do as drawing with a knife. When I cut paper, it is
a visceral reaction and natural response to my roots and affection for
precision, detail, and subtlety.”
