Beeswax
One of my personal practices is making paper. I’m constantly experimenting with new techniques and paper compositions. Some current examples include beeswax paper weavings, molded paper, and turmeric-dyed paper.
The medium is very transformative, able to be much more than just a template for art to sit on. After paper is pulled with a screen it has to dry, during this time I take the wet pulp and mold it onto objects, resulting in a delicate paper cast of the form.
