My fascination with the texture and nuances of Mexican handmade woven paper inspired a series of mixed media works. The paper is made from the bark of Amate, Nettle and Mulberry trees native to central Mexico. Each sheet creates an imperfect pattern and is often used as a stencil for my paintings. The randomly painted sheets are then utilized in mixed media works. I also deconstruct the sheets and use the strips, essentially, as brushstrokes. The organic and textural quality of the paper not only holds visual interest, but also provides a connection to the earth, the natural world and the indigenous artisans who have been creating the paper for centuries.
