THE WORD MADE MANIFEST
Text in Handmade Paper
5:00 PM - 7:00 PM throughout the first floor
Curated by Mary Tasillo of the Common Press, this exhibition brings together work from artists working with handmade paper as an explicit art form. The pieces in this exhibition feature text, wherein the text is physically part of the piece of paper. Techniques range from watermarking to shaped pages to an array of approaches to stenciling pigmented paper pulp into the sheet of paper while it’s still wet and freshly formed. Experience the word and the page becoming one.
This opening event for The Word Made Manifest show will feature a hands-on paper-making demonstration, led by The Soapbox, a nonprofit community print shop. All are welcome to participate!
