Build Up: More works in paper

08 February - 02 March 2013

Build Up is an exhibition of handmade paper by Darwin artist Winsome Jobling.

 

Winsome Jobling makes works in paper, which are linked to the environment on both political and physical grounds. Winsome’s art is tactile and sensual, often contrasting elements of texture, translucence, fragility and strength. She creates images by pouring thin layers of coloured pulp one on top of the other; they are then pressed into beautiful contemporary watermark papers.

 

Jobling has an international reputation as a paper maker and recently returned from the Watermarks 2 conference in Cleveland USA, where she presented a workshop to a highly appreciative audience of paper makers.

 

Build Up

‘It’s the wet, your underwear is clingy; it may be all you have on. Mould is growing on the walls and your clothes. The air-conditioners are heaving and gasping on sweaty high rises.  The city is ugly. Focus is here and now, built environment, build-up and rain.’ Winsome Jobling 2013
