Highly unique 3D piece that demonstrates the versatility of paper when in the hands of a creative artist

Artist's Statement:

"Artwork: a three-dimensional piece with no specific purpose

Materials: handmade recycled paper, acrylic ink, cotton string

The creation of my work included the following processes – pulp blending, sheet forming, freezing and unfreezing, drying, spraying, rolling, coloring, cutting, tying. Many of these processes were used repeatedly, interchangeably. Currently I don’t have a designated space for drying paper so the traditional drying methods were not used. The paper dried on top of a cotton sheet and later on top of a fireplace."
