Paper has to be one of civilization’s greatest inventions.  Paper has become an essential in the daily lives of almost all people around the world. Paperwork helps us record our economy.

  And as a creative medium, paper is low cost, versatile and abundant.  Its versatility is one reason for its popularity in art and craft. It can be used wet, as in Papier Mache, or dry, as with Paper Cutting, rolled for Quilling, folded to form Origami shapes, layered as in Decoupage and Collage or simply used in sheets on which we draw, marble, print or paint.

If you make your own paper, its tactile quality makes its manufacture and use a sensuous experience.

In this exhibition, Paperwork, Splinter Contemporary Artists are ‘paperworking’ their own magic.
