Parrish Art Museum | Paper Cut Silhouette Art

Where Sky Meets Structure

This cut-paper silhouette by CEDAR Y SAND pays homage to the Parrish Art Museum—an architectural landmark in Water Mill, NY, designed by the internationally acclaimed Swiss firm Herzog & de Meuron. Known for its elongated, barn-like form and dramatically pitched roof, the Parrish reinterprets East End architecture through a minimalist, modern lens.

Here, that iconic roofline stretches across a field of hand-marbled ink, echoing the museum’s quiet dialogue with landscape, light, and open sky.

An Icon of the East End, Layered by Hand

Each background is hand-marbled using the ancient Japanese suminagashi technique, where ink drifts across water like shifting clouds before settling into unique patterns on paper.

The museum silhouette is precision-cut from heavyweight art stock and layered atop this fluid backdrop—blending the permanence of architecture with the movement of wind, grass, and passing weather.

No two marbled patterns are ever alike, making every piece a one-of-one interpretation of this beloved cultural institution.

Matted & Ready for Framing

Professionally mounted in an archival off-white mat (12 × 9") with an image area of approximately 8.5 × 5.5".
Your selection comes in your choice of marbled hues—ranging from wheat-toned neutrals, fog-gray,  warm gold, or dusk taupe. 

Its modern, understated palette complements contemporary interiors, gallery walls, coastal homes, and collectors of architectural art.

A Meaningful Gift from the East End

Perfect for admirers of the Parrish Art Museum, architecture lovers, museum-goers, supporters of the arts, or anyone who cherishes the cultural landscape of the Hamptons.

This piece captures a quiet moment of place—where architecture, art, and nature meet in stillness.
