Another Perspective with Paper

Another Perspective with Paper

4 to 22 July 2017

Paper is fragile and strong, absorbent and rigid, flat and bulky, pliable and solid, smooth and rough…and, vulnerable to decay. Paper has been sometimes considered second best to other art materials, consequently there is a sense of freedom for an artist to experiment without worry of preciousness. Whether as a responsive and characterful surface to interact with, or as a material to sculpt, paper responds readily to artists’ ideas and transformations. This exhibition includes work printed, sculpted, folded, pulped, projected upon and encased, and highlights the flexibility of paper as a medium.
