Today the Department of Phenomenal Papercraft is enjoying the work of botanical artist Kate Kato, who uses found and recycled paper to create insect, plant, and fungi specimens and enchanting natural dioramas.

“A buzzing hive of bees makes a home in a matchbox, vintage books are overgrown with paper fungi and colorful wildflowers, and a shadow box is filled with butterflies and beetles. Rather than striving for exact scientific replication, Kato allows the original material to show through, lending a spirit of handcrafted whimsy to her work.”

Follow Kate Kato on Instagram or Facebook to check out more of her paper creations, some of which are available to purchase via Kato’s Kasasagi Etsy shop.

A Day in the Studio with Shannon Maiers 

A unique circle stenciled from a larger block printed in black on Kozo Okawara, a beginning of exploring the idea of disrupting representation and landscape

Two things: 1- There are already only a handful of copies left of the purple variant of my Watership Down poster! Pick one up from Black Dragon Press before it sells out. 2- I’ll be listing this original gouache painting in my shop on Sunday at Noon CDT. teaganwhite.bigcartel.com.

Heirloom print

Linocut and hand painted with coffee grounds from Armenian coffee.

heir·loom

noun heir·loom \ˈer-ˌlüm\

: a valuable object that is owned by a family for many years and passed from one generation to another

  This is the first piece of a  series and was printed in early December of 2015 as it was a gift for my mother during the holidays. Each piece is carved from a linoleum block then I print it on a Vandercook letterpress.  My first piece is entitled “Heirloom.” The piece is about the tradition of Armenian coffee, or Soorj. Parts of the print are painted with the coffee grounds. Most people may know it as Turkish coffee, which was never to be said in our house. As the writer Maxim Edwards put it in his article “Just Don’t Call it Turkish Coffee“: “These views have no doubt been entrenched by recent ethnic conflicts, or at least the collective memory of them. … The Armenian aversion to Turkish coffee is a legacy, in its own small way, of the Armenian Genocide.” The making, drinking, tasseography, and sharing is a ritual that has always been a connection of the women in my family. My Nana was taught by her mother, she taught my mother, and now my mother has been teaching me. In the right hand corner is a botanical illustration of a coffee plant. Below that is my mother making coffee in her jezve, a long handled coffee pot. To the left of her is the cup used to drink the coffee, the one illustrated being a specific cup that my Nana gave to my mother when my parents were married. The cup is turned upside down and left to sit so the grounds fall down the sides. Above that is my Nana, Lucy Hagopian, reading the coffee grounds as she would do for everyone present. My mother now reads the grounds when family and guests are over, and she has slowly been teaching this practice to me. These beautiful and strong women inspire me. Both were/are lovers of books, words, stories. Their stories are those of loss and anger, but also those of healing and understanding.
