“When Alice was nine years old, she and her father – a beloved school librarian – made a promise to read aloud together for 100 consecutive nights. Upon reaching their goal, they celebrated over pancakes, but it was clear that neither wanted to let go of what had become their reading ritual. They decided to continue what became known as ‘The Streak’ for as long as they possibly could”

“For many, crafting with paper and scissors might be considered one of the earliest introductions to art. While some have ventured off to experiment other methods of artistry, a loyal few have indulged in their fascination with paper cut to produce works simple in context yet startlingly enigmatic in precision. Gallery Nucleus invites you to revisit the fundamental medium of paper and blade with “Carved Complexities,” an exhibition featuring a select group of renowned paper cut artists who elevate the form of paper cutting to new heights of detail and imagination.”
