Absolutely stunning work.
For artist Amy Genser, paper is pigment. The Connecticut-based artist cuts, rolls, and arranges countless tubes of mulberry paper mounted to Masonite boards to produce vibrant reef-like canvases. The tightly rolled papers perfectly mimc the forms of sea coral that appears to grow organically in every direction across (and on the sides of) each canvas.

Breathtaking
Aren’t they? I can’t imagine the level of work this involves. The result is stunning. And mulberry is a sustainable, easily renewable source of paper. It’s long been one of my favourites.
Wonderful, especially when seen up close.
