On her work:
"Many images in my paperworks are recycled and have evolved over time, and document its fugitive nature. Tearing things, distressing them, and sending them through a series of processes, gives them a new life and new meaning. In my handmade paper works, created at Dieu Donné Papermill in New York, the image is part of the paper itself, created during the process.
Drawings and photographs, transferred to thin Japanese Kozo and colored, and plant materials, are used as chine-collé pieces to embed in the flax sheet. The graphic lines are hemp and linen strings placed on the wet pulp so that they emerge from the surface of the paper in some places and are covered with very thin abaca in others."
