This prompt was somewhat limiting for me, as I couldn’t find a way to use it to develop my current paintings. Instead, I focused on the main artistic association I have with paper: sketching. My sketchbook practice has significantly declined since coming to college, so I used my time to rekindle it. I wasn’t able to do 10 different sketches, but I enjoyed spending time creating for the sake of it again. I made the blue sheet of paper, although the surface wasn’t the best fore drawing on. I’ll have to experiment with different pulp mixtures next time to see if I can make a more functional surface. I enjoy using my sketchbook as a free space to draw whatever I want and play with media. This is what think of as my “home studio” practice.
Looking forward to getting to work on my paintings soon!
