Sculptor, Builder, and Maker
Paper pulp is the primary sculptural medium for artwork constructed by John Babcock using traditional methods and unique techniques developed for this individual papermaking process.
"I am constantly learning from the pulp. I pour, cast, inlay, and collage the various pigmented pulps separately made cotton, kozo, and abaca fibers on large surfaces. Each type of fiber reflects light differently when dry. This fiber manipulation adds a dynamic quality to the work, creating a dynamic within the piece, with sometimes disappearing images. "
