Papercut artist, story teller, puppeteer, Katherine Fahey’s intricate cut paper artwork have become music posters, shadow puppets, crankies, as well as lush music videos, and films. Katherine spent years designing and printing posters, shirts, and CD covers for musicians before she becoming a performer in her own right through the form of shadow puppetry. She was drawn to this art from because of its accessible, intimate, and communal nature. She has performed locally and nationally at festivals, theaters, and schools. In the past few years, she finished her largest shadow puppet show yet, a moving panorama (or crankie) for a live action film for a Museum at Yorktown, a crankie for a public TV station in Kentucky, and her third commissioned shadow show for the Peabody School of Music. Katherine has presented at the National Puppetry Festival, Light City, and the National Paper Cutters Guild festival as a featured artist. Her most recent performance pieces include a show about the Arabbers of Baltimore, Edgar Allan Poe’s, The Raven, and a collaboration with two Inuit throat singers, a creation myth from Northern Quebec.
