Paper is a seemingly simple yet versatile material that is often taken for granted. It can be used to communicate ideas, from a few strokes of a brush to create a simple gesture to a thought provoking tome. It is a material that has been with us for over 1000 years and is as relevant today as it was centuries ago.

PEEL takes the work of 9 international and national artists and designers who transform the material from functional objects to works of fine art.
