Artist Isaac Brynjegard-Bialik discusses his new work in Papercutting which explores the stories and traditions of the Jewish people through the twin lenses of papercutting and pop culture storytelling techniques. Brynjegard-Bialik layers meaning into his work by meticulously positioning cut-up pieces of comic books, maps, and holy books destined for ritual burial beneath delicately sliced paper. The result is visual biblical commentary, what he calls “paper midrash.”
