Her presentation was part of the &#8220;A Cut Above&#8221; exhibit at the Alice Sabatini Art Gallery inside the library featuring the work of Beatrice, myself, Nikki McClure, Cindy Ferguson, and Clay Rice. I had seen Beatrice&#8217;s work back in 2005 in an exhibit at the Brooklyn Public Library as well as on the NYC Subways when I lived there. She has done so much amazing personal and public work.<\/p>\n<p>One of the things that she talked about was how she found a correlation between running and paper cutting. She runs a lot &#8212; marathons, ultra-marathons, and she said it helps her with making large paper cuttings as they are like marathons in themselves (she often works large scale &#8211; measuring in feet rather than inches). This especially caught my attention because I had just been discussing with a friend the day before that the more I run, the more paper cutting I seem to be able to do (although, I&#8217;m good with three miles.. an ultra-marathon &#8211;50 miles?&#8211; would kill me off).
