Stir fried paper

A day spent inside, sheltering from the rain, hand stitching the folded paper of concertina's into a hard cover.







The preparations for drawing took most of our time, warming our bodies up, stretching and drinking cups of tea while we cut and folded, stuck and sewed. Once our books were ready we began drawing the ingredients that would later become our lunch, spending plenty of time connecting with what we were drawing (curiously people noticed that they were hyper aware of the smell the particular thing they were drawing, emanated).
At the end we arranged our books together into a stir fry of paper, noting that as a whole it was far more interesting being the sum of everyone's drawings and not just a singular persons work.

Thankyou to Jessie Pangas and Wining Cheah for participating in the first Gravity workshop, look forward to have many more of you in coming installments!
