Hand-cut and layered with meticulous precision, her artworks create intricate topographies that shift as the viewer moves. Soft gradients fall across the raised edges, casting subtle shadows that bring the composition to life. The interplay of torn and sculpted paper introduces a sense of rhythm and movement, making her pieces feel both architectural and organic—an immersive work of modern minimalist art, abstract wall sculpture, and textural contemporary design.

This one-of-a-kind artwork measures 19 inches high by 33 inches wide. It was created with hand torn paper, oil stick, cold wax, and flashe paint. It is framed in a black wood frame, wired, and ready to hang. The artwork is behind non-glare glass, which diffuses the light and softens the appearance of the artwork. Size and price include the frame. It is signed by the artist on the front and back. Free local Los Angeles delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and International shipping. A Certificate of Authenticity issued by the gallery is included.

Rooted in a deep respect for the handmade, Reuter’s process transforms simple sheets of paper into sculptural environments. Each work begins with deliberate planning, yet evolves through intuition as she tears, cuts, folds, and layers the material. The spaces of air between the forms allow light to become an active participant—creating gradients, silhouettes, and delicate shadows that heighten the artwork’s sense of motion. Her pieces invite viewers to pause, breathe, and enter a contemplative encounter with space, texture, and quiet luminosity.
