Designer Details


 

Gail Cunningham

My work centers around a fascination with social organization, specifically the format of the house and its interior anatomy. All of these pieces are hand cut out of a single sheet of paper, making them fragile and lace-like. While I often find the design phase of the work nerve wracking and a test of will, the process of cutting paper is meditative and cathartic for me. The finished work and the process become a place where I can exert control and a sense of perfection that is seemingly otherwise absent in daily life.
