The deckled edge of my cotton prints is a personal touch unique to each print. The hand tearing of the paper is a meditative experience; first measuring out the border of each side of the print, then carefully tearing the paper by shuffling thumb and finger along that border. Though the process can be tedious, I like to see the fibers and layers of the paper exposed by the tear, and I like that each print is unique.
Much of the preparation for the art fair coming up this weekend has involved deckling the prints of my photographs. I now have a collection of curls of paper scraps, and, more importantly, a beautiful set of photographs to bring to the art fair!
