Toni Glotter

Toni Glotter
is a Minneapolis based multi media artist. Her clean conceptual style is influenced by her earlier career as a graphic designer. Toni's education from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design emphasized concept and purpose first.
Currently her innovative “Papercuts” technique was created out of her desire to repurpose materials that would normally end up discarded. Toni manipulates paper strips by folding and gluing them to the substrate like pieces of a puzzle. What you see are the folded edges. When stacked the color or tone on the folded edges makeup the image you see.
With so much destruction in the world, creating is Toni’s contribution to the balance of what we destroy while preserving history in an abstract way. Repurposing everyday materials gives old materials a new life and meaning before they become obsolete.

Graduated from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 1978 with a BFA in Graphic Design
