Behind the Artwork: How I make Perforations
Each perforation is made by hand- here’s how it comes together.
Yes, the perforations are real. Every tiny hole and torn edge is hand-cut, one by one, whether it’s on an original piece or one of my hand-embellished prints. It’s meticulous work, but also meditative — and it makes each piece feel unique. What I love most is the randomness: when you rip paper from a notebook, it never tears exactly the same way twice. Each set of perforations takes on its own character, almost like a small artwork in itself. That unpredictability is what makes the process feel alive.
