Don Widmer
Don combines hand papermaking, bookbinding, and printing to create works inspired by storytelling and real and imagined histories. His sculptural artist books include his own writing and incorporate unusual book structures featuring movement and light. He creates images within sheets of handmade paper using plant pulp as a painting medium, a technique called Pulp Painting. As a papermaker, he is fascinated by the ability of pulp to represent both living creatures and inanimate objects, which is why he chooses to paint birds as well as architectural imagery.
