Papercuts-Two Faces in Yellow
Two stylized female faces emerge from a field of bright yellow, articulated by sweeping navy cut lines that flow through the hair and features. Built in paper collage, the work relies on sharp positive and negative shapes to create rhythm, clarity, and contrast. The result is graphic, poised, and quietly cinematic.
Maya Golk Apter
My work unfolds in the elusive space between memory and fiction, between personal experience and family or collective myths. The geographical and emotional starting point of my art is rooted in La Peรฑa Laraโa secluded island on the Rรญo Capitรกn in the Tigre Delta, Argentina. It is the place where I grew up, and which, over the years, has transformed from a tangible landscape into an internal, mythical, charged, and persistent one. In recent years, I have focused on the medium of paper cutting, working in a free, manual, and intuitive manner.
