This is the seventh volume of Paper Portfolios, a thematic series. This volume features the pulp paintings of eighteen artists working with a variety of fibers and implements, from stencils to dentist tools. Pulp painting is the technique of applying pigmented pulp to a wet sheet of handmade paper. During pressing, the pulp becomes integral to the sheet. Shown are the papers of Beverly Sky (left) and Shannon Brock (right). Sky’s pulp art was created with 250 sheets laid out together and pulp painted as one piece, so that each sheet contributes to one whole artwork.
