A pioneer of pulp painting, Meg Black creates New England-inspired landscapes and undulating seascapes made exclusively of natural fibers and discarded, handmade paper. When she was a budding artist, Black saved money on commercial paper by grinding paper scraps in a garbage disposal into a wet pulp, then spreading it around the canvas using plastic spoons and turkey basters. She now incorporates beaten abaca, an organic fiber, to provide a three-dimensional surface quality in her paintings and wall reliefs. Her abstract and representational artworks recreate the relationship between humanity and natural environments and place an emphasis on light and organic shapes.
