Supplies are included, but participants might want to bring several materials.A Shadow Book explores the delicate, translucent quality of Asian paper through paper cutting. Participants will engage in creating intimate spaces that capture the fleeting nature of shadows by carving images into the paper and overlaying them with additional layers. The outcome is a simple folded book that can be spread out or held in the hand, allowing for a delicate interplay of light and shadow. This process invites reflection on themes of loss and the ephemeral aspects of life, as each carved piece is contained within a small book. The final work features a minimal and quiet aesthetic, emphasizing the inherent beauty of the paper itself. This approach highlights the simplicity and fragility of the materials, encouraging contemplation on the transient moments that shape our existence.
