River Reverence
I transform foraged river plants, using innovative papermaking techniques to fuse watery pulp into textured pulp paintings. ‘Pulp Paintings' are paintings that are made of different paper pulp colors, with no ink or paint involved.
The River Reverence series evokes water movement, living plants, the play of light and color, and the changing nature of rivers. Each original pulp painting calls you to quietude, creating a moment of deep listening. It’s a way for you to feel the hidden complexities of rivers, their psychologies and material realities—all through contemporary craft.
My artwork acts as witness to rivers, celebrating the beauty of natural plant fibers.
