Artist Statement:
The papermaking practice involves a contemplative and almost meditative state that I have linked to the rest of my music and artistic practice as well to the concept of belonging and landscape that is present in all of my artistic production.

These specific pieces were made in a closed space and state of self involvement where the already formed paper material is transformed by repetition and actions of micro construction. They are reminders of the place and culture that now, in these strange moments, seems so far and unreachable but that is my own.
