The Paper on Pores and skin idea was launched by Pam Thorne, a Tasmanian paper mache sculptor of life-size figures. Resulting from Covid, 2020 was the primary 12 months wherein a movie model of the competitors was made, which fortuitously helped it to achieve further recognition, alerting paper artists worldwide. (Pam was a visitor on Helen Hiebert’s Paper Speak podcast that very same 12 months.)
