Paper On Skin is a biennial wearable award, which encourages and challenges artists to design wearable garments made from at least eighty percent paper.
Paper On Skin connects North-West Tasmania’s papermaking heritage to a community of paper-art lovers and artists from Australia as well as internationally. This year’s iteration presents thirty-four works by forty artists from eleven countries, including five from Tasmania, some of which are well-known luminaries of the international papermaking community. This is the first year the award and exhibition are held at Devonport Regional Gallery.
