Handmade cast paper, photo lithography, Ctira Solv transferred text 

"Getting the Lead Out" consists of 24 sheets of handmade paper casts that appear as plate shapes with crumpled square napkins extending out from underneath the plates. Each form has been printed with a photo lithograph of a blue, circular plate pattern with citra solv transferred text at the center of each "plate." The 24 plates are hung to form a 9' circle on the wall, revealing a poem that is read from the center-top clockwise.

Handmade paper, binding thread, handsewn technique 

"A Blank Shirt Book" literally used binding thread to hand sew a sheet of paper into a life- size, button-up, long-sleeve shirt, complete with collar, cuffs, breast pocket, and hemmed edges.

Handbeaten kozo bark paper, natural dyes 

"Codex Chup Cabal" is 12' x 8" of handbeaten kozo bark paper colored with natural dyes to create an accordion of blue skys with just a hint of luscious green landforms at its base. The piece makes great use of the wavey tendrils of fiber that are characteristic of bark papers.  

Islamic style paper and thread 

"La Cordillera is the Spine" is created from hand-torn folios of various sizes bound together by attaching Islamic-style handmade paper to a wire using a beautiful headband stitch across the full length of the book. Smaller bits of paper are clustered on either end of the book, gradually progressing to larger sheets as they come towards the middle. The wire within in the spine of the book is arranged to mimic the curvature of the human spine.

Natural pigment drawing on hay/rice straw/ abaca pulp painting 

"Atrophy no. 1" is an 11"x17" pulp painting that uses the natural earth tones of hay, rice staw, and abaca pulp to render a view of the support beams of a deteriorating gable roof. The angular and abstract lines of the pulp painted beams are enhanced with the application of hand drawn pen & ink wood texturing. 
 

Cotton pulp painted couch with wool yarn figure  

"Resting Place" is a 12'x4' quarter-inch thick pulp painting in the shape of a three-cushion blue couch with rounded arms and a skirt. The almost life-size couch has a wool crocheted full-body silhouetted figure seated on the right cushion. The shadow is wearing a pink hat and the body is a shade darker than the sky blue of the couch so that it appears translucent.
