Carol Farrow

I make paper mainly from cotton linters fibres. I use hand made paper because I have the freedom to make it any shape, size, thickness, texture and porosity. 

Sometimes it is cast at the wet stage to record a surface, sometimes collaged, embedded or stitched with linen thread. It is painted with washes of acrylic and waxed. Because I make it robust it can be hung directly on the wall by means of a hanging system on the back, without glass.  My inspiration comes from architecture, costume, objects and surfaces worn, deteriorated or affected by age.
