Says Katrina O'Brien of this work, "Paper is central not only to my art practice but to my life since childhood. Paper goes beyond painting for me. It’s always held this incredible sense of possibility - the power to write, to read, to paint, to draw, to escape into a world of words and images. It carries histories, carves out futures, offers alternative worlds. And, quite simply, the paper itself is a sensory experience for me: the sound, the smell, the feel. It’s a seductive surface that gives life to my visual language in a way that no other surface can."
