Partricia Zapata makes use of the three-dimensional quality of paper to create beautiful but practical objects such as lampshades, gift boxes, stationery, and calendars. South African Heather Moore and Emily Hogarth may live on opposite sides of the Equator, but both have a similar interest in applying paper-cut design to textiles. Pattern and repetition are important in their designs. Moore's fabric includess "herds", which feature repeated patterns of a single cow from a cave painting or a repeated solitary mongoose, horse, or deer. Her fabric is sold by the meter and is readily made into cushions, tea towels, or aprons. Hogarth's imagery borrows primarily from nature, including highland cattle, mountains, and flowers. She focuses on the pattern and geometry that can be found in the natural world; a recurring interest seems to be flowers with big, bold petals.
Peter Callesen, a Danish artist who creates both life-size and A4-size works, also dares to challenge, Callesen's cut images emerge from the page like litte sculpture's attachement to this negative space gives the image an element of tragedy; it is as though the figures are trying to escape but can't; Birds can't properly take flight, and skeletons
cna't walk away from their graves. A continual theme is 'the dying swan," which he explains is a hybdir of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Ugly Duckling" and a human figure.
