CATHERINE ADELAJA

I make handmade paper from a plant called Abaca, that through a process of soaking waxing and dyeing papers are produced, never the same, and never to be discarded that are brought together sometimes sewn and sometimes heated, pressed together.

 I look for jewels whether it be the markings on the beach pebbles, the warmth of the reds of the rusted metals, the colours of the wilting flowers, the accidental marks of life. They all influence me.
