Combat Paper Project


The Southwest School of Art & Craft hosted a two-week long Combat Paper residency and veterans workshop in November, 2009, in conjunction with their exhibit, "Engaged and Fragmented". The exhibit also featured the work of paper artists John Risseeuw, Eric Avery and Peter Sowiski.

Workshop leaders Drew Cameron and Drew Matott were joined by veterans Chris Arendt and Jon Michael Turner and other veterans who pulped their uniforms worn in combat to create cathartic works of art. Participants made paper sheets and bound them into personal journals, tried their hand at pulp printing their personal images and collaborated to make large pulp paintings. In addition, Jon Michael Turner led a writing workshop to help veterans tell their individual stories.
