| Introduction | Anne Vilsbøll’s art is the result of intense innovative and inspirational research into the hidden potential of paper as a tool for modern means of expression. She has been acclaimed as one of the pioneers among a number of remarkable artists who have researched to revive the lost form of the ancient craft of papermaking as a contemporary art form. Like an ancient scribe, or medieval apprentice, she has learned her craft with consummate devotion to artistic devotion to artistic traditions. Her art begins with experiments with ancient and modern papermaking techniques which her sensibility creates into new forms, textures, colors for her paintings, sculptures and diverse installations. Anne Vilsbøll’s art is the product of more than four decades of assiduous investigation seeking to penetrate the secrets of handmade paper based on traditions established both in the West and the East. Extensive travels and studies throughout the world have strengthened the artist’s resolve to provide new insight and inspiration to the viewer about the potential of handmade paper as an art form.
