Solo exhibition, Strolleroptera, by Despina Zografos showcases her meticulous and delicately crafted paper cuttings.
Strolleroptera features over a dozen intricately cut paper works inspired by the artist’s childhood memories of growing up on the Greek island of Crete and watching the matriarchs in her family create complex geometric patterns through lace, crochet, and embroidery. She reinterprets these traditions through her own lens and through the transformative experience of motherhood. The word Strolleroptera reflects the two languages spoken daily in her life; it is her own creation, combining the English word “stroller” and the Greek word “ptera,” meaning “wings,” as in Lepidoptera—the order of insects that includes butterflies.
