HAND MADE PAPER

In my process of making, chance plays a big role. I control the colors, pulps choices, and general composition, then let the gravity do the rest. Give space and time for the gravity to grab the pulp from the mold, form the shapes naturally. Then when they get air dried, the shrinkage of multiple pulp materials and the overall environment get control over the final look.

I experienced culture shift from east to west when I was 18 years old, an age that I have established a basic mindset/understanding of life and personalities, I was a fully functional human being physically and mentally;

but it was also an age that you could easily take in new things, after a certain amount of time, I have seen things that I like and I dislike about each culture that I have experienced,

Those pieces somewhat represent the culture mixture of my experience:

varieties of colors and materials, they interact with each other and bond together. While the shapes and contrasting colors suggest the separation.
