Paper Quilt

18 February - 15 March 2026

During a recent artist residency in Taiwan I stumbled upon a stack of handmade paper left behind by a previous artist. Paper is so abundant and utilitarian, I never considered it to be a beautiful thing. Returning home to Aotearoa I began to make paper in my studio, examining its material qualities and re imagining it as a decorative quilt. By assembling sheets of paper as one might piece together fabric, the material shifts from a carrier of information to an object of contemplation.
