This exhibition celebrates and documents an emerging community of contemporary artists based in Queensland and Northern NSW addressing contemporary issues through the properties of paper itself.

Over the last few decades and in keeping with the re-materialisation of art a growing body of artists have found paper and papermaking an effective medium to articulate conceptual concerns. This return to materiality within contemporary art practice has reactivated the conversations between artists and their mediums and is particularly evident within the medium of paper, a medium that historically has been relegated to the role of a substrate both in the broader public and within art practice. Each of the artists employs a material property of paper as a device to engage with their conceptual concerns.

The exhibiting artists are all graduates of Queensland College of Art; Grace Cuell, Ana Paula Estrada, Fiona Foley, Annique Goldenberg, Sidonie Hall-Jordan, Tim Mosely, JungHa Park, Pamela See and Karen Stone.
