2021 Fluid Practices Exhibition
2021 Fluid Practices
Members’ Showcase
Annual Exhibition
As the world becomes more interconnected, resources and ideas influence how creatives use the pliant medium of pulp. In the wake of an increasing number of digital technologies and workflows, hand papermaking has continued to prove its fluidity, resulting in a hybridized approach through which traditional processes often interface with software, computer-generated output, and virtual platforms at various stages. NAHP Annual Members' Showcase: Fluid Practices asks artists and craftspeople to consider the ways in which they have adapted the technologies of the time either in the production or conceptualization of the work.
