In October of 2021, I traveled to the town of Truth or Consequences (TorC), New Mexico for an artist residency where I made paper and created art for two weeks, unhindered by the distractions of daily life. Set along the Rio Grande River near the Gila Wilderness, this residency offered space dedicated to making paper out of local plant fibers, specifically invasive plants (Tamarisk and Giant Cane) and to continue my pursuit as a papermaker. Inspired by the flora of this austere location, this series is an exploration of making art that is not only about, but from the land.
