St. Joseph’s University, New York • Brooklyn Council for the Arts presents:

Paper Trails

Tracing history and truth through paper art

A group exhibition curated by Pam Wong
Featuring: Miki Chen, Fay Ku, Jewel Kawataki, JoAnne McFarland, Carter Shocket

"Paper Trails" features the work of five artists who trace histories and uncover truths through paper art. Instead of leaving marks upon the surface of the material, the artists transform it – cutting, folding, stitching, and weaving it to illustrate their stories. Connections are made to culture and race. Identities and relationships are explored. Whether fine art paper, leaves from vintage books or magazine pages, the delicate material is reimagined and reshaped to firmly support the weight of each artist’s vision.
