Papermaking with Remnants



Kitchen set-up.


For the Remnants volume of thesis books, I collected all of my paper waste over a 6 month period, including TTC transfers, receipts, coupons, post-it notes, sketches, bank statements, etc. I then made sheets of paper out of these remnants and bound this volume of books with it; bringing the concept full circle!









Tore all remnants into 1" squares.

Blended until pulp was even.

Strained excess water.

Put all strained pulp to the side.

Added sizing to pulp before adding it to the vat of water.

Long format sheets on the pelan, ready to be pressed and dried.
