My two shadow lanterns from SENZA LUCE are currently on display at Racine Art Museum as part of their Cut It Out: Papercutting Traditions and Beyond exhibit. I will also be activating the gallery 3 times throughout the exhibit run with live shadow puppetry performances. What an honor it has been to show work alongside those of some greats like Kara Walker!
Cut It Out: Papercutting Traditions and Beyond
February 18 – October 3, 2026
at Racine Art Museum

Papercutting as a creative handcraft has roots in many cultures, including centuries-old examples from China, the Polish tradition of wycinanki, and the Mexican history of papel picado. Celebrating handwork and recognizing its potential to connect across time, space, and geography, this exhibition combines various forms of papercutting. Through large- and small-scale works, contemporary makers expand upon tradition, adding their voices to rich creative lineages. To further illustrate this concept, shadow puppet theater utilizing paper silhouettes will be performed throughout the run of the show.
Live Shadow Puppet Performances
