Her work makes use of illustration, book arts, and public art. She cuts her characteristic silhouette designs in paper and Tyvek (a synthetic weatherproof material often used in home construction). Her work was shown in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Getty, and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. Her stories are about identities and transformations and how these changes are inherent to a learning process physically, spiritually, and metaphorically.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/exhibits.truman.edu\/artistbooks\/home\/\" target=\"_self\">Back to List<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Papercut of the Galapagos by Beatrice Coron Papercut of the Galapagos (2016) is an accordion book created with one piece of paper.
