Heaven and Earth Series

Dieu Donné, 2000
Heaven and Earth Series:

These works, “Heaven and Earth Series”, are made with natural pigments (such as graphite powder or powdered pigments) and peat moss, applied to matrix stencils and pressed onto the surface the wet paper pulp. Casual effects of the pigments laid down on the damp paper cause fractal patterns, air bulbs, and patterns that when dry, evoke the earth from the air. The most lively of these material interactions was graphite powder, which resisted being mixed with water creating lacey patterns on the paper. The concentric forms are a motif I have been working with for some time and undulate outwards from the center, like tree rings. Made in collaboration with Paul Wong at the Dieu Donne Papermill NY NY.
