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.
