Archive of Selected Paper Works

The Archive contains a selection of a few of the paper works made over the past thirty years. It is roughly divided into categories listed as links and is somewhat chronological. Sometimes, a category reflects a change in technique. The Garden series pieces are later poured works, and the Ladder series are mostly free-cast. Some marks and symbols have been worked into the Ladder series, and ladder forms worked into the Color Fields works.  The Freeform work of the early eighties is early free-cast works, as is the Faults and Fissures series, which started early in my papermaking endeavor.  I termed the word free-cast to describe my casting process, where there is no mold, and the pulp is free to be pushed and manipulated. Although these papermaking techniques and processes have evolved, they are still tools in the artists’ repertoire and may still be used in a year’s work.
