Joyce Gold

Collection 4 (2020)

Media: handmade paper

Statement: During the pandemic I felt like I was a survivor and had to search within my boundaries to fit my needs. I call this series 'Collection'. A collection of textures, various pulps, shapes, and bundles of handmade papers to show a variety of paper elements and what paper can do.

Collection 6 (2022)

Media: handmade paper

Statement: I love the process of making paper and how paper will sometimes take a life of its own. With that intent, I experience personal insight with chance, serendipity, and synchronicity with the materials I use. This becomes my creative journey to create the finished work.

Obsolete Collection (2022)

Media: handmade paper

Statement: With google maps and online people search, phonebooks and maps are becoming obsolete in our everyday lives. In this piece, ’Obsolete Collection’, I included fragments of maps and phonebook pages to call attention to this disappearing paper. In this collection is a ‘collection’ of fibers, molds with various papermaking techniques.
