Memory







 I am currently preparing paper for my new sculpture. I am using Kozo fibre paper that I have brushed with Konnyaku starch (Momigami.) After I prepared the paste I lightly applied it to both sides of the kozo. Then folded the four corners in and then crumpled and squeezed it, then opened it back out repeating the process over and over. I love this process and  how paper has a memory. There are lots of possibilities for this type of treated paper. It feels like fabric and perfect for my memory project.
