About the Exhibit: 

Curated by paper artist Michael Velliquette, The Craft of Paper: Contemporary Takes on Tradition explores modern interpretations of paper crafts, including cutting, folding, rolling, weaving, and layering. This exhibition aims to establish a unified language of paper craft techniques, while highlighting how contemporary artists are adapting these methods in innovative ways. It underscores the tools and techniques that have contributed to the recent resurgence of paper crafts, such as the development of high-quality, commercially available paper stocks. Central themes include the evolution of paper as an artistic medium, the fusion of traditional and modern techniques, and the diverse applications of paper in both art and design.
