Show Description: Wandering Folds is a new body of studio investigations by Christiane Grauert and Jessica Meuninck-Ganger, in which the artists translate the surfaces, textures, and structures of paper through their explorations of urban and natural environments. Using paper engineering, printmaking, and gouache, they chart new landscapes and waterways, gathering impressions that coalesce into imagined spaces.
