Leaving the work exposed to the elements, the splotches of rain making starlike dots on the dark circle.

The Drawing Center in Manhattan shows drawing in all of its imaginable forms. Check out these edible drawings by Eduardo Navarro made with edible marker on sheets of rice paper, the kind that bakeries use to print pictures on cakes. It’s sturdier and more porous than wood-pulp-based paper, like a fibrous, chewy card stock. His intention is to make viewers experience art in another form – digesting it literally rather than visually.

I wish my trip the The Netherlands could have coincided with the Holland Paper Bienniale. For those of you in Europe/Holland this summer, be sure to go!

A veteran sailor, Joan Hall understands the crisis of ocean pollution. Her stunning large-scale works of art and installations combine found or cast paper marine debris into handmade paper and explore the effects of plastic on the sea. Several of her pieces are now on view at the Newport Art Museum in Rhode Island.
