Sea Necklace is a piece about seashells. It is a poured handmade paper piece created from dyed kozo pulp with colored pencil embellishments. I made this sheet of paper from tree bark imported from Japan, using traditional Japanese methods of preparation.It's incredibly strong, yet appears delicate. Starting with the white inner bark of the Kozo tree, I cooked the bark, rinsed and cleaned the bark, then beat it to a pulp using large sticks! Following this,the resulting pulp was dyed using various hues of color fast cold water dyes. The pulp was then poured into templates placed onto a mold and left to dry in the sun, After drying, I embellished the piece with colored pencil. (In some wonderful places, it's difficult to discern whether it is colored threads of pulp or my hand at work making marks!) Years ago, I lived in Japan and studied traditional Japanese Papermaking with a master papermaker My poured paper pieces are my western sensibility for color field merged with eastern traditions.
