Cut Paper Collage

Devon Balwit, when not writing poetry or creating 2” by 4” 8-page, hand-drawn autobiographical cartoons, makes cut-paper collages in all sizes. The cutting, arranging, and gluing send her immediately into flow state, and she highly recommends it to anyone suffering from existential dread. The first time she took an X-Acto blade to a glossy art book or a Bible filled her with trepidation, but it has since become surprisingly joyful.
