Anna writes:

“Flow State is an exploration of place and process through paper. Each piece is cut entirely freehand, and through the repetition of forms and simple shapes a more complex and detailed work grows.

“Unlike drawing or painting where you are adding to the paper or canvas, in paper-cutting, you create the work by removing something. This means that no additions can be made once a piece of paper is cut away. There is no eraser, no way to paint over a flaw. Any mistake or error becomes a catalyst for adaptation. It is a practice of presence, process, and focus.

“In most of my paper-cutting work, I draw first. This helps me to see the lines and intersections, and how a piece will unfold. Drawing first allows for more control, but it can also create a sense of physical and mental tension. For this body of work, I wanted to see what would happen if I worked solely freehand, allowing each shape to build into something larger. The overall collection is inspired by the flow and change found all around us in nature, and a challenge to consider the same within ourselves.”
