WEAVING PHOTOGRAPHY, HANDWRTING AND HANDMADE PAPER INTO 0NE POETIC MEDIUM
Each sheet of paper is a storyteller; every fiber carries traces of time and care.
In my sessions, people are invited to write letters; to their child, partner, parent or themselves.
I photograph both the act of writing and the connection.
The wild, textured fibers of the paper don’t just hold the image; they become part of it.
They blur the edges.
They soften the light.
PAPER BECOMES SKIN
HANDWRITING BECOMES VOICE
PHOTOGRAPHS BECOME TRACES OF PRESENCE
Meet the maker
I’m Astrid, a Dutch papermaker and storyteller living in Thun, Switzerland. I’m married and a mother of two sons. I love exploring the mountains and enjoying the Thunersee; swimming, paddling, or simply being by the water with my family.
