Paper Inventory
2018
Collection of various handmade papers
Paper Inventory serves as an archive, inventory and form of currency. The collection documents recent research in using the household as a self sustaining ecosystem. Objects which are in excess (banana peels, garlic skins, onion skins, fabric scraps, paper) are used to create what is needed in my practice (paper).
The collection is also an inventory, showcasing materials available for barter and trade. By trading paper objects for goods, the line between commodity and currency is blurred. Please email if interested in an exchange.
This inventory will be updated as paper is used by myself, or exchanged with others.
