Shiny Flax

The beauty of flax paper can only be experienced through touch. I strongly believe that photographs can never do justice to the qualities of handmade paper. Translucency, weight, smell, strength, sound and color are just a few attributes that I experience when I hold a sheet of handmade paper.

These pulp paintings are made with flax fiber which is dyed with brilliant gold and golden bronze luster pigments.
