Louis Lieberman
1982
I first used paper sculturally as a kind of adjunct material to the fiberglass which I had been using for large-scale wall reliefs. I needed a smaller scaled, two-dimensional surface on to ( and out of) which I could mold my reliefs. Paper provided this very well.// Soon, however, paper took on an appeal I had never expected. Like the more conventional sculptural materials such as stone, wood or steel, it can have a visual appeal intrinsic to the material itself. But unlike those materials, paper has something more, or in a sense it has something less; it has modesty. Paper is an intrinsically modest material. This is where my chief attraction to it lies and this is the quality which I am sure allows me to work with is most successfully.
