Mona Hatoum — Hand made paper
Mona Hatoum

Hand made paper

Mona Hatoum's "Hand made paper" is an artist's proof from an edition of 20, signed and numbered in pencil as AP 4/5, presented unframed to emphasize the materiality of the work itself. The piece exemplifies Hatoum's engagement with process and craft, particularly her exploration of paper as both subject and medium, which reflects her broader interest in humble, everyday materials as vehicles for conceptual inquiry. By foregrounding the handmade nature of paper, Hatoum highlights the labor and tactile processes involved in art making, themes central to her practice that often interrogate notions of authenticity, origin, and the body.

Medium
Signed and numbered 'AP 4/5' in pencil on the board (an artist's proof, the edition was 20), unframed.
