Kenosis, Intricate Designs Cut Into New York Times Newspapers

Kenosis by Shanti Grumbine

Artist Shanti Grumbine cuts intricate designs out of New York Times newspapers for her series “Kenosis.” Her designs are inspired by stained glass windows, illuminated manuscripts, and other ancient art forms.

In my project Kenosis, I utilize the erasure and excision of the New York Times Newspaper to elicit a sacred experience of the everyday. By physically removing content, I make space for what has been censored in media as well as what is lost in the translation of experience into words.
