STATEMENT
Paper plant materials include: Bamboo, banana, cotton, daphne, ficus, flax, gampi, hemp/jute, mango, mitsumata, mulberry, nettle, onion, papyrus, rice, sandalwood, silk, snake plant, and anonymous hard and softwoods in upcycled calendars, card stock, cellophane, construction paper, greeting cards, grocery bags, maps, parchment, pastry boxes, souvenirs, vellum, and wrapping paper. Most cultivated or wild-found, harvested, stripped, bashed, pulped, mixed, repeatedly dried, and then crinkled, dyed, embossed, foiled, gilt, glittered, hand-painted, lacquered, laminated, marbled, printed, stamped, sun-washed, or left natural by many, many other artists around the world. Some gathered, torn, soaked, bashed, blended, and dried by me. All gleaming with warmth and texture IRL.
