Shoreline Studies

Based off of observational sketches of coastal and shoreline sites in Rhode Island, and using handmade paper from recycled paper scrap and Japanese Knotweed, a problematic plant species commonly found near waterways at these sites. ‘Pulptype’ is a technique I discovered, which is informed by both the printmaking and hand papermaking processes—it uses only handmade paper pulp, and results in works that resemble monotypes or woodcuts.
