Pulp & Bind: Paper & Book in Southern Appalachia
January 26, 2024 – June 2, 2024
Pulp & Bind brings together 18 artists working across the diffuse region of Southern Appalachia who are deeply engaged with the mediums of paper and book as a form and a concept. The structural potential of paper, its emotive qualities and familiar insinuations, and the alternately highly-refined and visibly handmade possibilities of the material are just some of the recurrent themes across this exhibition. Bringing together this diverse group of objects, bound by a seemingly humble, familiar medium, reflects our region’s heterogeneity and challenges assumptions about Craft and Appalachian creative production at large.

Paper has always been an integral component to the printed word and image, but in recent years it has come into its own as an expressive artistic medium. This exhibit curated by Georgia Deal highlights the intersection of print and paper in the works of Melissa Harshman, Kelly Taylor Mitchell, Marilyn Propp, Gretchen Schermerhorn and Georgia Deal. Each artist approaches this “marriage” of paper and print in unique ways, some coming from the language of print and others from a primary focus and love of hand papermaking. Each artist agrees that the inherent properties of both print and handmade paper compliment and give voice to their ideas and concerns. Historically there is a "cross-pollination" (Gosin & Takahashi) between papermaking and printmaking that explores social, political and narrative themes. It is through this lens that we find commonality connecting the work of the featured artists.
