For the full article and commentary on the drawings, go to: Mohassess’ work has been said to be ‘above all (an) acute eye (that) observes and confronts power’. Reporter, Karen Rosenberg, wrote: ‘Decades before Marjane Satrapi’s celebrated comic book memoir “Persepolis,” the Iranian satirist Ardeshir Mohassess was making black-and-white drawings whose blend of humor and reportage made him a cult figure for artists and intellectuals in his country.’ Hopefully he is still fondly remembered. Light + Paper items are available to purchase online as well as in a variety of brick and mortar locations, as well as at craft shows in Canada.The drawings here are taken from a May 2008 article in the New York Times on an exhibition: Ardeshir Mohassess: Art and Satire in Iran. In 2022 we have begun to move some production of lasercut goods off-site to keep up with demand. These intricate, unique patterns are then transformed into a variety of fun lasercut housewares or other goods.Īll of Ali's original pieces are designed by hand, and Ali lasercuts all of the prototypes and many of the reproductions in our small Toronto studio. Preferring a blade to a pen, Ali first creates her designs by cutting paper by hand. At first, all Light & Paper items were handcut originals - but when it was near impossible to keep up with orders, Ali decided to begin lasercutting her designs. After falling in love with cutting paper, Ali armed herself with a sharper blade and an actual cutting mat, and Light + Paper was born.

Using a borrowed box cutter and her kitchen cutting board, Ali created her first papercutting.

It was a fateful day one December when, in search of a unique Christmas gift, Ali decided to try a new craft. MAKER STORY - LIGHT + PAPER FOUNDER ALI HARRISON
