Gretchen Faust

cut mulberry paper on blue card, in artist's frame

Gretchen Faust's work presents delicate sheets of cut mulberry paper arranged against a rich blue card, creating a subtle interplay of texture and tone. The fibrous, translucent quality of the mulberry paper contrasts with the smooth, saturated ground beneath it, drawing attention to the materiality of each element. Housed in a frame chosen by the artist herself, the work feels intimately considered, blurring the boundary between artwork and object.
