Cut & Paste

While flipping through this month's issue of Interview magazine, I came across the work of artist Francesca Gabbiani. Her meticulously created artwork is made of tiny pieces of cut-out paper. Drawing inspiration from rococo mirror frames, Alice in Wonderland, and the films of director Dario Argento, Francesca's work invites the viewer to come up close and explore. Only then will you see your own face reflected in the black space enclosed in each one of her paper frames.
