Since 2008, Kathryn has been experimenting with her own contemporary style of scherenschnitte (shear-n-SNIT-a: German for scissor cuts). She was inspired by the stark black and white imagery of block printing and wanted to create a similar look and feel but with a simpler process and fewer materials. She is enticed by the bold effects of the cut paper silhouette and the dramatic play of the shadows they cast and loves how the simplicity of the lines in a silhouette can produce such complex expressions and conjure vivid memories and feelings.
Kathryn says: "I have been using a SHOWOFF™ Canopy for my indoor and outdoor art festivals for past three years. I really appreciate the craftsmanship, the ease of the set up and especially the lightweight but super sturdy structure."
