And any material can take on the burden of what has been brewing in our consciousness or sub-consciousness, in our awareness or in our dreams.

Material as metaphor, 1982

Paper Scissors Rock will explore the physical and conceptual possibilities of paper.

Paper as a material is at its simplest ordinary, unpretentious; it is functional and efficient. And despite our existence in the ‘digital age’, paper remains a pervasive part of the day to day.

Perhaps because of its ordinariness, the ‘possibilities of paper’, particularly in the hands of the creative and inquisitive mind, can be simply extraordinary.

Paper will explore the contemporary use of ‘paper’, through diverse media including sculpture and installation, video, drawing, painting, collage, photography, and jewellery.
