Produced by scanning papercut artwork into a computer, Papercuts is a stunning deck of cards produced by Art of Play in collaboration with Suzy Taylor. Hunched over a magnifying glass, craft knife in hand, Suzy Taylor embodies the meaning of patience and precision. Beneath her tiny blade is a blank sheet of paper, but in her imagination, a dizzyingly complex design is waiting to reveal itself. Oozing opulence, the tuck features a rosewood-coloured replica of the back design and an over-sized, embossed Ace of Spades surrounded by gold foil - all printed on a thick, matte paper stock. Delicate spot cards are accompanied by intricate courts which are works of art in their own right. Each has been painstakingly designed to bear resemblance to traditional court card design - even the so-called 'Suicide King' is depicted through the medium of paper-cutting.
