Nice exhibition overview from MAD's chief curator at the link. Also, you can get the whole curatorial write-up, plus view other objects from the exhibition here: http://collections.madmuseum.org/html/exhibitions/485.html

Adam is one of several artists featured in Slash: Paper Under the Knife who studied traditional fine arts and moved towards the gestural cutting, or "drawing with the knife." For these artists, the combination of paper as a medium and dynamic painterly action of cutting, shredding, tearing or burning enables them to draw in 3D.

Our Chief Curator David McFadden said it best,"The intensity of Fowler's work depends on the precision of intent and control of the cutting technique. The work evolves organically from two into 3 dimensions; cutting is used to define territories and to establish boundaries between spaces."
