Meaning and scope

Definition

Paper cutting is a cutting technique that specifies cut contours, positive-negative shapes, and layered paper as one image-control axis. It does not determine subject, composition, era, or creator.

In more detail

The image is structured through cut contours, positive-negative shapes, and layered paper. Adjacent material, medium, process, and finished-appearance elements remain independently combinable, and named works or brands are outside its scope.
