Einstein – The Shape of Genius

About the role

A unique opportunity to create intricate papercut portraits that explore identity through precision, negative space, and layered depth. This role focuses on the art of removal—using diagonal cuts to reveal underlying layers and produce subtle visual vibrations in the final piece.

Responsibilities

• Design and execute papercut portraits with meticulous diagonal cuts to expose dark underlying layers.
• Utilize negative space to enhance composition and convey meaning.
• Experiment with layering techniques to achieve visual depth and texture.
• Refine cutting methods to produce subtle visual vibrations in the artwork.
• Maintain precision in craftsmanship to ensure clean, intentional lines and shapes.

Requirements

• Proficiency in papercutting techniques, particularly with precision tools (e.g., X-Acto knives, scalpels).
• Strong understanding of composition, negative space, and layering in visual art.
• Ability to work with fine details and maintain consistency in cutting patterns.
• Experience in creating artwork that explores themes of identity, layering, or abstraction.
• Portfolio demonstrating prior work in papercutting or related mediums.

Skills

• Precision cutting and craftsmanship.
• Design and composition for layered artwork.
• Patience and attention to fine detail.
• Creative problem-solving in material and technique.
