December 9-11 & 17 2022
Duration: 14 hours
Cotton handmade paper pulp, sea weed handmade paper, thread, cotton material, natural indigo dye, wood, 15X17X8cm
A workshop dedicated to paper and its endless possibilities and applications, as it becomes a material of artistic expression through creative interventions during its making.
Paper and fibers, with paper as such being a complex grid of fibers. Fibers; threads, fine, thick, with or without colour, smooth or rough; fibers that are added to the main body of the paper pulp even before everything starts; fibers that are placed in between two damp papers in an attempt to become one; fibers pressed into the mass of the paper pulp, at times leaving their mark and at times ready to stay there forever, incorporated into colourful paper pulp with an imprint on the fresh piece of paper; fibers sawn together to give form to our handmade paper.
A workshop dedicated to paper, as well as to visible and invisible fibers.
