Handmade Paper Sculpture
This series grew as an interim series between the porcelain heads and what was to come next. I used the same molds for the handmade paper as I used for the porcelain, and included a wing mold of a bird I found while on my walks at the beach. The large wing is a copy of an eagle wing I made at the Ornithology Museum in San Bernardino. I created the paper and slurry for these works by cooking the flora and vegetation I had growing around my house and my garden. |
