May Babcock
A papermaking artist using abundant natural materials foraged in New England, giving voice to waterways and their surrounding lands.
MessageTake a moment, listen to the rushes and rippling river. Grow a deeper bond with the Earth through papermaking art made from plants.
I transform foraged river plants, such as Canada rush, using innovative papermaking techniques to fuse watery pulp into textured pulp paintings. ‘Pulp Paintings' are paintings that are made of different paper pulp colors, with no ink or paint involved.
The River Reverence series evokes water movement, living plants, the play of light and color, and the changing nature of rivers. Each original pulp painting calls you to quietude, creating a moment of deep listening. It’s a way for you to feel the hidden complexities of rivers, their psychologies and material realities—all through contemporary craft.
