We chatted about her book Lepidoptera, which features Virginia Woolf’s essay ‘The Death of the Moth’ and Sarah’s moth etchings.

Here is one of her pine drawings, on okawara paper from Hiromi Paper, which was sized with gelatin colored with blue and black dry pigments.

We also talked about a mitsumata paper, which you can find here.

    This interview is excellent for anyone interested in printmaking, paper, and process. I am more interested in papermaking but have done some printing and aware of what a difference paper makes. I have sent the link to my printmaker sister. I will listen again and go back to archives of interviews. The audio quality is excellent. Well done.
    Thank you Helen and Sarah.
