For too many printers and book artists, paper is simply a vehicle for holding ink. However, the relationship between paper and image making is actually a more complex and subtle interaction. Many printing processes (from inkjet to non-silver photo processes) are affected by paper chemistry, surface complexity, etc. Editioning with papermaking-specific techniques such as watermarking and pulp painting can result in completed artworks in and of themselves. This class will explore the relationships of paper, printing, and image development directly in the paper process utilizing both the paper studio and various printing facilities within the department.
