During a temporary use phase at the Quelle building in Nuremberg, I worked in an 18 m² studio with access to a huge roof terrace. Due to the lack of paper recycling bins, I began soaking paper waste there to reduce its volume a pragmatic and unconventional solution. This led to the idea of processing the material into pulp and using it to create objects.

The paper pulp is applied to a separable mold using a skimmer and a specific throwing technique, then left to dry for several days. This process is repeated up to four times to achieve sufficient wall thickness. The traces of the throwing process and the crater like surface inside remain visible. The object is surprisingly stable. By adding specific salts, a fire retardant quality could also be achieved. The outer layer was tinted with iron oxide, while the inner layers were left in natural cardboard tones.

The mold construction was made from aluminum offset printing plates, cut with a conventional cutting plotter.
