I had read in the Boston Globe about an exhibit of contemporary cut paper art at the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester, New Hampshire. This rainy day seemed like the right time to go.
This sculpture is just outside the entrance.
The museum building is very appealing. It is large enough to hold a large variety of permanent pieces and some special exhibits.
The Currier owns a very large collection of art glass. Here are a couple. They had hundreds of paperweights on display from a range of time periods and styles.
The cut paper exhibition was in three rooms. We saw a film and all sorts of cut paper art in 2-D and 3D. Most of them required an extreme amount of patience and precision to execute.
This page from the New York Times has been rearranged with every letter, space and punctuation mark grouped and alphebetizes. The photographs were cut apart pixel by pixel and rearranged according to the spectrum.
Before we left Manchester, Paul wanted to try the diner we have seen so often on television prior to the New Hampshire primary - the Red Arrow. They were very friendly and made a big deal about our being first-time visitors, but I don't think I'll go back. The food was extremely greasy and salty. Oh well.
