Milli Flaig-Hooper

Paper making began 2000 years ago in China from recycled elements. In the 1800s an English paper maker was granted the first patent for paper recycling. That process involved extracting ink from printed paper, converting the paper into pulp and creating new paper.

In 2007 Milli began a process of paper making that removes nothing and adds nothing, in order to create new paper. Not just any paper, either! Her experienced hands have swished back and forth holding a screen through hundreds of vats filled with the pulp soup called slurry. The slurry is the medium.

Pressed in textures, once dried, provide the backdrop to the most amazing tactile tempting outcomes that morph into new paper. This past year Milli experimented with how she creates her paper art and the result is vibrant infused colours together with tactility. We hope you are intrigued enough to stop in and have a view.
