With delicate cuts, Minneapolis artist Sonja Peterson builds networks of negative space into intricate cutouts whose mazes of quiet colors and soft shadows add depth and whimsy to the simplest of mediums: paper.
“Often my artwork is derived by looking at historical events and science to absorb present day dilemmas,” . - Sonja Peterson
