Circular cutouts are often shown in Khoshbin's works. I love it, it looks like a vortex and at the bottom of the page, a word is revealed. Unlike Dettmer and Jones, Khoshbin creates stories from her books. She also includes illustrations to add to the manipulation which makes it much more eloquent. Maybe because she's a female artist, compared to the two male artists before, her works are more delicate and fragile. She also made sculptures out of paper too, papier-mâché?
