The Painting Cutout series is a collection of abstract paintings that use folding, cutting, and stitching to bring together three painted surfaces in a harmonious composition. Experimenting with different techniques and materials, the series explores the interaction of painted surfaces and creates a space for contradictions to coexist. Using a sustainable system, no parts of the paintings are discarded during the cutting process, and all pieces are attached, allowing the original paintings to be restored if desired.
