Why I cut instead of draw

Drawing lets you erase. Cutting does not, and that is the whole point.

This post is sample content for the Indium theme. It shows how a journal entry reads: a lead under the title, headings set narrow and heavy, lists with tomato markers, and links that turn into a scribble when you point at them.

What happened

  • A cut shape cannot be fussed over
  • Paper color is always exactly the color it is
  • The mistakes are part of the finished piece

What comes next

The next pieces are already pinned to the wall in pencil. If you want to see them first, the studio letter goes out once a month.

I started cutting paper because I could not stop erasing.
