Handmade Paper Vessels and Ceremonial Urns


“Blue Elfin Boat”

I sculpt the hull of the vessel in clay, then make a mold with plaster gauze, which I cover with the handmade paper, made from abaca pulp, I paint the hull with layers of acrylic washes, sanding between each layer, I find interesting driftwood and seed pods on the shores of Lake Ontario incorporating them onto the vessel, paper raffia is woven onto the wood on the hull.
