From 50 to over
100 years ago, calligraphers practiced their art in Japan on handmade rice
paper. When they were done, the paper was reused as backing on painted Japanese
screens. When these screens get remounted or repaired, this paper must be
taken off. I re-use it a third time by creating papier-mache works with
it.
