About this piece:
I think this little piece is what it is- papers pigmented with color, layered together to form a patterned “little quilt”.  The base paper of all the paper pieces and tablets are created from handmade Lokta paper that is formed from the Daphne shrub, which grows on the southern slopes of the Himalayas. The paper is extremely hearty and durable, as is the shrub. Lokta paper is one of the earliest developed papers and is and was used for official records and sacred texts of Tibet. My sincere thanks goes out to those who make this wonderful paper.
