“Cultural storytelling is an influential part of my work, so while traveling in Germany, I was fascinated by the German folklore and fairy tales of childhood and how they still relate to German adults as part of their daily lives. Grimm’s Märchen: Das Alphabet is a 28-letter alphabet set that interrelates the historical and cultural uses of scherenschnitte, or ‘scissor cuts,’ with the German typography of Grimms’ Fairy Tales. I then applied the scherenschnitte technique to my own piece.”
