Danish-Norwegian craftswoman Bit Vejle crafts unique creations by cutting patterns and designs in paper using only a pair of small scissors. Psaligraphy, as this art is called, is traditionally practiced in Denmark especially at Easter, when children commonly make greeting cards using just a sheet of paper that is folded to cut out a design. This was also Bit’s favourite ritual when she was growing up in her native town of Brovst. Over the years, it became a profession: her first exhibition was held at The National Museum of Decorative Arts in Trondheim, Norway, in 2008, and her art soon spread throughout Scandinavia and all the way to the USA and China. She enjoys listening to music while cutting, and to introduce a great degree of humour in her world of imagery.
