About Me
aRT by a thousand cuts was borne out of my passion for creating book art by marking, cutting, folding, and excavating. One piece involves many hours and many cuts. I began folding books in November 2021 and, as a Freemason, most of my early pieces involved Masonic symbolism. While I still fold them, I've become increasingly interested in book carving/excavating. I've worked in academic libraries for several years and have great appreciation for the printed word; this is a creative way of repurposing books otherwise bound for the dumpster.
