As she builds the paper with layers of wet pulp, she sculpts the surface. When dry, she paints intense colors to enhance the forms and textures. Working in conversation with the art, she follows the lead of what emerges. She looks for ideas in the lights and shadows. Weinstock often feels an idea and helps these phantoms take form. The process of creating art is giving life to ideas. Recycling paper is renewal.
