Posted @withregram • @paperonskin Winner of the Awagami Paper Award in Recognition of the use of handmade/artisanal paper - $500 supply of @awagami_factory Editioning papers
Donna Vo (NSW) – The Shedding
This award was established to recognise and celebrate the tradition, craft and artistry of non-commercial and/or handmade paper. Paper on skin is nurturing the development of the art-form of wearable paper art as a stand-alone medium. We wanted to recognise the artist’s ability to select or hand-make bespoke paper for their piece.
For ‘The Shedding’ Donna has used Abaca paper 60gsm, Hemp paper, Awagami washii (beige), also cream, raw and white paper raffia. The piece represents the shedding of ideals placed on a female as a child, a young adult and as a mother. Donna has utilised handmade techniques such as embroidery, weaving and braiding – the things we share with our daughters and learn from our mothers and grandmothers. @donnavo_photo
Yes – Awagami paper is used in Donna’s piece – but this is in no way a necessary condition for receiving the award. It is, as the piece highlights, beautiful, quality, artisanal paper.
Judges notes: This work demonstrates how specialised paper can be manipulated into an infinite variety of textures and surfaces. The Wonder-woman bodice is a triumph of knotted and woven with paper raffia. The gossamer cloak floats with water-pierced panels and origami triangles. The outfit is visually interesting in elegantly subtle natural tones. The wearer becomes other – a primitive princess, or 21st century earth warrior?

All the works are currently on display at the @burnieregionalartgallery. Due to COVID-19 restrictions the gallery is only open on Mon, Wed and Friday, and tickets will need to be booked via burnietickets.com.au

While we are not meeting to make paper as a group

While we are not meeting to make paper as a group at the moment, members are still making paper at home, inspiring each other, and exchanging knowledge by phone and online. Posted @withregram • @lpoole42 Managed to squeeze in a papermaking day this week. Since it was too cold to have hands in the vat outside, I made small sheets on the end of the kitchen table, having made and dyed the pulp the night before. My inspiration was @anne.gason and her post on her beautiful rainbow coloured paper earlier this year. I had purchased the dyes from @papermakers_of_victoria at least a year ago and had only used them once with moderate success. Very happy with the colours this time around.

As usual, Barb Adams is very quick off the mark in showing us how we can compile the beautiful postcards collected during our postcard exchange. Her clever design even incorporated the envelopes. We are looking forward to seeing what other members come up with.

The final postcards in our year long exchange have now been sent and received. Thank you to Ann Baxter for all her hard work. Participants have enjoyed the challenge of regularly creating a small artwork on handmade paper as well as the anticipation and delight of checking their letterbox to see what that month would bring. These are some examples of June’s theme “Water”: Waterlillies by Susan McCormack, Pandemic Precipitation by Anne Payne, Lotus by Barb Adams, untitled by Gail Stiffe, untitled by Anne Gaston, and Choose Wisely by Leanne Poole .

We are very proud of POV member Anne Payne, who yesterday was named in the Queen's birthday honours as a recipient of an OAM (medal of the order of Australia), for service to the community of Blackburn. We know her as an active member of Papermakers, but you may not know that she is also:
Chair of Blackburn Lake Sanctuary advisory committee, a
volunteer with an environmental education program for school children,
Secretary of Blackburn & District Tree Preservation Society,
Executive of Blackburn Village Residents Group (activism against inappropriate development), and
Vice chair of Blackburn Red Cross branch.
But she said her favourite volunteering is her work in various small remnant bushland parks in the City of Whitehorse. From all of POV, we wish her the most heartfelt congratulations for such deserved recognition.

Posted @withregram • @gail_stiffe_books_paper Dyeing with turmeric (with washing soda) and red onion skins by leaving in a jar in the sun for a few days. Paper was wrapped in gauze to protect it. Red paper was recycled board other was pineapple paper so considerably stronger. I'd put a couple of pieces of rusty metal with the onion skins. Was looking pretty dull so I used some herbal tea to brighten it up.

Repost from POV member Anne Payne who has been using her time at home to explore Indigo with some incredible results: Over this time of social isolating and an opportunity to just do activities I’ve not had time to try before, I’ve been able to make some paper, stitch some fabric in Japanese Shibori designs, make my very first indigo vat, dye all the pieces I’d prepared and put all I’ve learnt into a book. I’m about to make a book of newspaper clippings over this past 6 weeks. And a Leunig book of his cartoons commenting on COVID 19. Nearly finished. Thank you so much to Barb, Leanne & Anne T for your encouragement & sharing your knowledge. Lots of fun and of course great sense of achievement.

Repost from Liz Powell: ”At last The Guardian of the Southern Convergence is striding out of the studio on her way to Burnie and Paper on Skin. Denise N. Rall and I have been working like Trojans to complete all those bits you think will just take a minute but don't. Now we just have to get her to the courier. Life will be much simpler when inter regional travel is (cautiously) opened up.” Liz also sent us some details on the construction of this amazing piece: “Materials include: kozo which I have hand-dyed using shibori techniques with indigo, much of which was then treated with the joomchi technique (like paper felting) and polished with cold wax. Pants were silk screen printed with my drawings of diatoms found in Southern Ocean, which were then beaded. Crystal beads also find their way around other parts of the work. There is a lot of running stitch, many pearlescent buttons and a great deal of work!”

Beautiful paper made by one of our interstate members. Thank you for tagging us Jennifer 😊Posted @withregram • @artahortabella The royalty of handmade paper fibres: darker paper is NZ flax (Phormium tenax) harvested in Tasmania years ago, and lighter paper is my ‘kozo faux-abaca’, a blend of one-third kozo and two-thirds local banana (Musa spp., but not Musa textilis or true abaca). Both papers whisper light yet strong and natural. Love them .

Posted @withregram • @gail_stiffe_books_paper Looking for a box to send Connie's Coat to Tassie for "Paper on Skin" I found all sorts of treasures from years ago, tessellation was in my exhibition at Dragon papers 2001 or 2 and so was "The Grove", packed up, the rolls and paper stones. The nest pieces and the artist book were in "Nesting" at 69 Smith Street Gallery in 2009. The mandala game traveled to Cleveland in 2012 for the joint IAPMA, Friends of Dard Hunter conference.

And another member of POV with an entry accepted into Burnie Paper on Skin. Congratulations Liz and Denise. Your entry is beautiful. Liz Powell: “Denise Rall and I have been successful in our application to the Burnie Paper on Skin Exhibition! Our entry is Guardian of the Southern Convergence, the current that constantly circles Antarctica and forms the natural boundary around this fragile sea and continent. We are working with metres of indigo dyed kozo that have dyed, resisted with various shibori techniques, silk screen printed (thanks to Anne Leon making the silk screen for us from my drawings of radiolara found in krill) punished with wet and dry joomchi, stitched and polished.
With Denise and I living 2 hours apart the current travel restrictions mean less face to face work-shopping but more coordination via phone,snail mail and email. COVAD 19 will not beat us! and this project is certainly keeping us busy.
Cheers to the organisers of this event for working on how to run it as an on line event (barring the even more unforseen)
Here's hoping!” .
