filming
Since 2020, when covid forced the cancellation of our live event, we have filmed the complete suite of Paper on Skin™ works.
The films provide a beautiful record of wearable art as it is meant to be - live and moving on the human form!
Thanks to Nicholas Higgins (cinematographer), and Alluvium for the original soundtrack.
Also our fabulous local models!
