I made my own papers by hand for my massive, irregular-shaped drawings. Inspired by my favourite artist Kiki Smith, I collect different types of paper from all over the world and tear them into small pieces. I proceed to soak them in water and glue them back together as one piece when the papers dry. The textured papers become an unconventional canvas for my fluffy animals, erotic plants and grotesque architecture.
