Grace Bazylewski believes that most of today’s world problems are the result of people not making enough effort to understand each other. She trying to change that by handing them some folded paper and a pair of scissors.
This is how she introduces them to wycinanki (ve-chee-non-kee), the old Polish folk art of paper-cutting, stylized by regions of Poland. The designs include flowers, trees, animals, stars and abstract forms, as well as genre scenes and multilayered glue-ons. The only limit is the paper cutter’s imagination and creativity.
