Description
Susan Kristoferson, originally from the US and active 1990–present, is one of two Paper Legacy artists living in Canada. She specializes in making traditional and modern paste papers, as well as fold-and-dye papers, based on her knowledge and experience in Japanese textile patterning techniques, such as shibori, itajime, and orizome. In the 1980s Kristoferson taught these techniques on the college level, subsequently focusing on her studio practice and historical paste paper research.
