Liberated Paper

Work in paper, pulp and reclaimed fiber by Amanda Petrovato

Amanda Petrovato is inspired by experimentation in working with reclaimed materials, evoking the sublime, and unfettering unexpected transformations.


reclaimed materials
So surrounded by material!
We are integrated in our immersion.
So the creation and destruction of the world that is fibers and cells, elements, shapes
goes like:

grow and decay, form and disintegrate.
We are part of it, we are it.

Reclaiming is renaming is repurposing.
Repurpose its name and purpose but step back and look at the game.
Naming and purposing.
So reclaim, rename and repurpose.


evocation  
The vacuum of purposelessness opens a space.

transformation
Every thing is just arriving or just departing.
Every thing has just arrived and is just departing.


liberation
Ownership of reclaimed materials is dubious and fluid.
Claim what is discarded to repurpose
the purposeless
or previously but no longer purposed

or unpurposed.
