Description
The contributors to this conference responded to our call to bring together scholars and practitioners working in the visual arts to identify historical, aesthetic, social and environmental contexts within which the materiality of paper works to enhance processes of illustration.We were particularly interested in paper as artefact and what this term means in a world where material ephemerality works in conjunction with digital imprint.
Paper’s properties—of folding, cutting, collaging, of tactility and surface - afford the construction of narrative, the decolonisation of power, and the support of care and wellbeing.
Some of our papers and workshops considered the radical potential of paper as everyday material or the necessity to archive and preserve, while other presenters are working through notions of value that are imbued in paper and all its disseminative applications.
This conference highlighted myriad qualities of paper, evoking further interest in its discursive materiality and in its abstract properties that often go unnoticed.
