Paper

AN EXHIBITION OF PAPER BASED DESIGNS FROM STAGE ONE STUDENTS, UNIVERSITY OF SUNDERLAND

The Chinese first invented paper in the 10th Century (Han dynasty) and via the Silk Road, it began to spread across Europe and beyond. Since then, paper has been used throughout the world and has become ubiquitous in our everyday lives.

For this exhibition PAPER, stage one Graphic Design students were asked to produce work that demonstrate the multitude of approaches and processes that could be created using this material.

This exhibition aims to showcase a diversity of work created by digital means and traditional methods: tearing, folding, cutting, embossing, printing, mark making, construction, rubbing, are some of the processes demonstrated here. There are also installations, mobiles and printed graphics produced to celebrate the use of paper. We are delighted that GF Smith Papers is the sponsor for this exhibition.
