Plant fibres are the raw materials for paper makers; the carbon, hydrogen and oxygen that make up cellulose are also the most common elements in the human body; therefore, as a papermaker empathy for the environment is in my blood!

The reciprocal relationships of all living and non-living things are an elaborate and all-encompassing mesh of networks. 

All things are made of atoms – little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting and repelling one another. All matter is granular and this granular view of the world creates a sense of the profound unity of things. We are all made of the same substance as are the stars, and the sea.

Hand paper making allows me to transform fibres into new materials, to make paper that can bring an ecosystem of very real issues into tangible form.
