Cloud of paper 'pigments'

FOR a long time, paper has taken a back seat in an artwork, functioning as the base for an artist to paint on. So what happens when paper itself becomes the "paint"?

Such is the premise of the works that Australia-based Singaporean artist Suzann Victor created during her residency at the Singapore Tyler Print Institute (STPI).

Primarily an abstract artist who became known for kinetic illustrations, Victor says that not knowing anything about printmaking and paper was integral to the way her works turned out. "I entered the residency with an open mind and heart, with no preconceptions of what I could or could not do," she shares.
