Pulp! Is an exploration into the properties and potential of paper shreddings that were being burnt or landfilled when placed in the recycling bin at the university.

This insight was gained during my research project Mapping Connections and is especially relevant as the university digitised all of their files post COVID.

This experimentation took two directions: the recipe for the paper pulp and the method of forming it.
