works by sam wróbel, wycinanki folk artist.

wycinanki is the Polish folk art of papercutting, and the works you see here are all cut from paper by hand with scissors and/or shears in this tradition. i incorporate traditional motifs and styles with my own interpretations of my rural louisiana life, my travels, and other personal and political inspirations. in this way, i aim to bring this centuries-old tradition into modern times.
