Krista Reuter

Douglas, Michigan

Krista creates hand cut and hand torn layered paper creations. Her work is an exploration of light and shadow and how a two-dimensional plane can be transformed into a three-dimensional object. Reuter enjoys using abstract patterns and shapes, found in nature, as themes for these explorations.

Her work emphasizes the concept of alternate space—between drawing and sculpture creating a subtle yet intriguing statement comprising both delicacy and strong definition.

Artist Statement

My intention is to celebrate the handmade and at the same time “change the gaze” of the viewer. I strive to reach a simple, honest statement and to have the confidence to say “more with less”. The result is that the art creates a poetic spatial experience comprising both delicacy and strong definition.
