Artist Statement--Georgie Cunningham

My interest in creating handmade paper has taken me on a path of seemingly unlimited

discovery. The very nature of papermaking has one hiking across the countryside

looking for potential fiber and blending the worlds of science and art.

 

Using rich, bold color and repeating patterns, I weave my handmade paper

with an assortment of mixed papers and found objects. Layering color and texture,

I let paper tapestries emerge to become meditation pieces. My love for the Silk Road

cultures has influenced both the appearance of my work and the manner in which it is

created. I’ve come to respect the process as well as the result.


Georgie Cunningham makes and weaves paper in her studio in the Texas Hill Country.

  

Is nature seen from man's view
and nature's view the same?
If man is part of nature,
than nature comes first.
