“Pictures are two-dimensional, whereas we live in a three-dimensional space, with many more dimensions added by our passions and intelligence. When we translate or reform our multifaceted experience into this flat, rectangular format, we play with space” (100).
“Space implies time” (108).
“…cut paper makes us concentrate on structure, emotional clarity, gesture, and overall cohesion rather than on line, detail, ‘realism,’ or shading. Cut paper keeps us to the emotional basics” (127).
“Playing with cut paper forces us to concentrate on the basic structure and on how this structure affects our emotions. But this is the basis for all our visual art forms, the foundation on which the rest is built. Once you understand how these principles work with paper, you can use them in any medium” (133).
