A Cut Across
'To Cut Across' is denved from the turn of phrase 'to cut a path across', This assumes that the well-trodden road has been relinquished for an alternative route. or even a short cut. Metaphorically, the idiom implies that the departure from the 'norm' is optimistic and that it exists outside the boundaries of routine and tradition. an intermediate location where excess has been stripped away In favor of directness. By uSing the process of cutting away (or cutting out) each of the artists in the exhibition shreds away layers of unease in order to find a more direct route to discuss issues associated with contemporary experience. This methodology, at first, appears destructive, but it is through the assertion of a negative action that a positive emerges.
