Two shows opened this month at the Cape Cod Museum of Art in Dennis.
âPaper Talks: The Life of Miroslawa Pissarenko artist, horticulturist, teacher and friendâ will be on view through April 4.
Miroslawa Grabowski Pissarenko (1909-2006) believed that paper talked. She told this to her good friend Peter Michael Martin as she created Polish paper cuttings called wycniaki in her own intricate style, using only a pair of cuticle scissors. On Cape Cod Ms. Pissarenko is remembered for her paper cut-decorated eggs, which she demonstrated and taught to children in the schools and libraries. But that was just one example of her artistic touch.
