PROFILE

French-Canadian papercut artist, whose carefully cut-out newspaper pages have won numerous awards. Dion works freehand using a scalpel to produce these beautiful designs reminiscent of both Arabic latticework and stained-glass windows. She suggests that the transformation from broadsheet to objet d’art is “to find a new use for print media in the process of its disappearance”, and the delicate quality of her work may well be a subtle mirroring of the fragile state of print journalism
