home to scraps of wood, fabric and paper. (Some rugs and blankets, too.) In her recent show Plumb Pulp atLmakprojects (http://www.lmakprojects.com/) the fabric and paper showed up conjoined as handmade paperworks framed, pressed and squished between glass and backing board. This is paper that is very, very hand made.Often holes split one surface to reveal colored fabric behind or between layers of paper. Layers pass back andforth through one another. Throughout the work the notion of flat surface –paper, wall– as place of representationis voided. Representation and site conflate. In her one of kind books the holes turn up again revealing the pagebehind, beneath and before the page one is on. Fabric tassels and threads weave through and pepper the pageswhile origami, complex folds detour the reading of the sparse text.
