Ira Svobodová’s new Papercut series layers sheets of paper as representational layering of personal conditions such as emotions, thoughts, knowledge and experiences. Earlier works draw from concrete structures, while the new iterations shift to more fragile ephemeral forms and materials. There is a tenderness and softness emphasized by the choice of colors, yet dramatic tension activates the pieces. While making this work, Svobodová intensively listened to the music of Antonin Dvorak, capturing his lyricism and alternating rhythms during the process. The minimalist stacked bent paper alludes to origami, but at the same time they could conceivably be writing paper—waiting to be written upon, and structured to swallow messages.
