This time last year, I was doing so much collaging that I actually considered trading in clay for paper. Playing with paper, and all the flowers that sprang out of that time, was the diversion I needed from the laboriousness of clay. I am very much back in the mud now, and enjoying it, but I still want to keep paper arts in the mix. So, my goal for this winter, is to produce paper replicas of every vessel I make. We’ll see whether the paper vases inspire the clay ones, or the other way around. “The beautiful life,” scribbled my eight-year old on a piece of thick orange paper yesterday. “Let’s see what hapen’s.” Below are artist, Nadia Gallardo‘s 365 paper bottles.
