Most of us can’t cut out coupons without something going wrong. But in the case of Swiss artist Catherine Winkler Rayroud, something goes very, very right every time she picks up a pair of scissors. Her solo show at Archway Gallery, “Cutting Edge: Work by Catherine Winkler Rayroud,” shows the elaborate, intricate works she produces with just a tiny pair of nail scissors and a single piece of paper. Each highly wrought narrative work can take Rayroud up to three months to complete. Rayroud will also show a collection of her ceramic works, which were decorated with paper-cuttings before they were fired. Watch Rayroud at work during two demonstrations (May 8 and 22). 5 to 8 p.m., opening reception May 1. Regular viewing hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, noon to 5 p.m. Sundays. Through June 3. 2306 Dunlavy. For information, call 713-522-2409 or visit www.catherinewinkler.com. Free.
Sat., May 1, 5-8 p.m.; May 2-June 3, 2010
