Julene Harrison — Chicago, USA

"I don't find the physical element of paper-cutting a challenge. I always work with a sharp blade and the paper I use is tried and tested. It’s thin enough to easily cut through, but not so thin that it would buckle and tear under the pressure of the knife. I find the designing of the pieces is more of a challenge."

Using just a sharp blade, Julene Harrison demonstrates the delicacy, the beauty and the magic, of paper-cutting at its brilliant best.
