Amanda Larson, work in progress
Amanda Larson, a student working with Professor Mary Hark from the Design Studies Department is working on a large screen type installation using abaca pulp in the paper mill. Below are some process photos as she is building her pieces.
This is a detail of the piece.
Amanda wraps a wooden frame with thread. The thread will hold wet pulp.
Thread is simply tied to the wooden frame. The thread is wrapped around the frame to form a grid.
Once the frame is covered with thread, wet abaca pulp is poured over the thread.
The frame is placed on top of a container to catch the spill off. Once part of the frame is covered with pulp it can be moved.
Pulp is repeatedly poured over the thread.
Her piece was installed in the stairwell in the School of Human Ecology.
