“Intuition and spontaneity play an important role in my handling of wet colored pulp to form sheets of paper,” said Kalke.” “I use screen printed images to enhance the original colored paper surface. I often use collage, a wax resist batik technique, hand tinting and relief stamping to push the image’s development to a completed visual statement.”
