I HAVE A LONG-STANDING INTEREST in the art of paper cutting. This sounds obvious, but paper cutting and silhouettes are not the same. A silhouettist is not necessarily a paper cutter, nor does a paper cutter aways work in silhouette.
A silhouette is a shadow portrait and can be made by cutting, painting, photographing or drawing the profile. Paper cutting, on the other hand, is a broad and interesting genre of art covering much more than silhouette. The two arts clearly overlap, but are not the same. I call these pieces paper cuttings, rather than silhouettes, since they are not shadows.
