Initially, I was studying printmaking and drawing but became seriously involved with the process of casting paper. Since 1997, I have had a studio at esw where I can work with paper pulps to form surfaces to print or collage upon, or to build new paper forms. Two years ago I began making some bronze casts of folded paper origami, playing with the notion of transience and permanence; tenuous paper as opposed to the bulk of metal. These opposites reflect in the making process, paper requires much water and metal casting requires fire.
