It's about process, not product!

If you are like me who is very detail oriented, methodical and plans everything ahead of time, then you can relate to this sentiment of mine-

Once in a while working with no planning or agenda is all it takes to unwind. This work is a result of that. I had some leftover abaca pulp staring at me so instead of just forming sheets I decided to play with it a little bit. The lines were created using a thread that was dipped in the vat. When the pulp is collected on the thread I placed it on the felt and gently pulled the thread away.

I am happy with how it turned out because this one is for process, not product.

Kozo Moments

This structure is a gem. It is called the storage book and is one of many ingenious and innovative book structures by Hedi Kyle. I used the storage book to preserve paper samples that I made with Kozo fiber. Each sample to me is a reminder of a moment in time-the time spent in the studio learning, discovering and experimenting with the fiber.
