Paper or Bioplastic includes explorations with bioplastic structures made from gelatin, water, and glycerin, mixed with various food dyes and glitters for aesthetic satisfaction, and essential oils for olfactory stimulation. It also includes various pulp paintings made on handmade paper, as well as “Saccharine” a mini anthology including poetry from my mother, M. Tonnette, on mullen paper with yucca embedded into the back, as well as cotton pulp making up the front page and seaweed pulp making the back page.
