Jorge's studio practice moves between oil painting and Stratopulp, his handmade paper technique. Both work from the same archival sources and the same inquiry into male intimacy — one builds the body through layered paint, the other through the fibre of men's discarded clothing.

Stratopulp
Stratopulp is a handmade paper technique in which men's discarded clothing — cotton shirts, linen trousers — is destroyed, broken down to fibre pulp, and reconstituted as a new surface. Images of male intimacy are formed within the paper itself, built from the same pulp during the same process — so that the depiction and the substrate are one. The material carries the trace of the bodies it once held; the image is inseparable from it.
