Hello dear souls,
welcome to the Ode to Paper Studio, it’s lovely to have you here. I’m Milly, a self-taught bookmaker and mixed-media artist. I work out of my cosy atelier in Freiburg, a beautiful old city nestled into the Black Forest, Germany. It’s here I found the space to breathe and lay down the roots of my bookmaking venture, my “ode to paper”.
For me, making art in a sketchbook has become a practice that nourishes my soul by teaching me how to slow down and engage with what I notice.
Ode to Paper is about opening the space in which to meet with our inner nature. We meet ourselves in our journal pages, in our daily musings and meditations, in our scribbled notes and sketched ideas, in our collaged photos that re-imagine the story of another day. These are the silent spaces that hold our creative voices, where, with each stroke of ink, we are freed into a dance with our makings.
These books are intended as safe spaces for self-exploration. Let each blank page spark a curiosity and an intent to experience a little more of this world, and let our marks remind us to keep our practices grounded and forever awakening.
