If you happen to be in Burnie, Tasmania, visit the Burnie Regional Art Gallery where the paper fashion pieces that just debuted in a runway exhibition Paper on Skin are on view.
If you’re curious about the subject line of this blog post, here you go! Last month I spent a couple hours with Tom Leech in Northern New Mexico to record episode #25 of Paper Talk. In this episode, Tom tells us about his early memory of the smell of paper, when his missionary aunt sent him toys from Japan wrapped in Japanese paper; his first experience with papermaking – while studying sculpture and printmaking with Winifred Lutz; and how his interest in environmentalism led him to make recycled paper at 18,000 feet on Mt. Everest. Have a listen!
I thought it would be fitting to include this fascinating article about the life of a conservator, in this case Indiana University conservator Jim Canary. Jim was involved in the Paper Road Tibet Project, which Tom Leech talks about in the podcast mentioned above.
Conservator Jim Canary explains how he plans to repair the binding of a book that is currently kept in a cardboard box. Canary conducts repairs in the Lilly Library’s conservation lab. TY VINSON
