British designer Sally Baldwin has taken out the major award in this year’s Paper on Skin International Wearable Art Competition.
Her winning entry, titled After the Bushfires – Regeneration was judged the top exhibit among 38 works by 33 artists from 11 countries, including the UK, Canada, the US, Japan, and a number of European countries, as well as entries from Australia.
The exhibition will open to the public at the Paranaple Arts Centre in Devonport on Saturday and run until November 16th.
The biennial event was established in Burnie in 2012 to acknowledge the North-west Coast’s paper making history and moved to Devonport in 2022.
All exhibits have to be made of at least 80 per cent paper.
Meanwhile Devonport’s Market Square Pavilion has been transformed into a paper forest, featuring paper flora created by more than 400 artists across the North-West and North of the State, with the installation finishing on Sunday.
