The studio, shared with my collaborator in studio-glow, Robert Ostermeyer, sits next to a renovated RR depot in the Lake Champlain Islands North of Burlington Vt.
We make sheets of abaca paper from a banana plant harvested in the Philapines and exported to Brooklyn, the pulp is overbeaten for 7 hours in our Hollander beater to produce a sublimely strong, translucent, and sustainable medium, magical qualities useful for reinventing nature.
My half is a body shop. Masks, limbs, angels, flora, trees, fauna, leaves, fruity-things, pods, lights - the parts kits for pop-up curious life forms. Not ours, the ones we intuit but never see.
