The Art of
Lavett Ballard
Wood Pulp
In a effort to explore other ways of working with wood as a medium. Then it dawned on me to revisit my love of papermaking and the roots of my love of art with works on paper. Paper being made from the pulp of the wood and with my personal handmade papers I have been able to add a new level to my collages.
This new series started in 2018 is collages on pre-made archival and my own handmade papers. I was happy to find I was able to create work with the same textural quality of my wood collages, but by aging and distressing the paper I have been able to achieve the same effect that I love with my fence and wood slice works.
