| Drawing
with paper is a term, first used by the late Eric
Kenneway, I believe, which describes the process of
creating a pictorial design using the contrast between
the two sides of irogami or differentiated paper (paper
that is white on one surface and coloured on the other or
a different colour on each surface). |
