Cotton pulp + elastic + underwire

Patricia LaPointe working on papermaking project.
Patricia LaPointe is constructing an object out of cotton pulp and an underwire structure. First placing a “de-constructed brassiere” on synthetic silkscreen material and outlining the shape with wet cotton pulp, she builds her shape.
Once the pulp and underwire are allowed to air dry, she can remove the piece from the screen and can explore a variety of ways to display her piece.
