Collection: Pulp Paintings
The Pulp Paintings are a series of relief paintings constructed using paper pulp applied and mounted to wooden frames. Paper pulp has been an essential part of our studio practice for nearly a decade, stemming from a love of paper's tactility, versatility, and accessibility. We create our own paper pulp from recycled paper collected from various sources, including neighboring photography studios' discarded backdrop paper rolls. Some compositions are constructed by debossing or embossing the surface and/or armature, and the paper pulp surface becomes a palette for collecting color. Other compositions are created using cut pieces of wood to which paper pulp is applied and then painted. The backs of the paintings are painted in fluorescent colors that reflect off the wall behind the artwork, giving a faint halo of color to each painting that shifts as the light shifts throughout a day.
