David Baskin
Workspace Program Resident 2022
As a sculptor who uses a variety of materials, I was amazed at the versatility of paper as an artistic medium. The Dieu Donné residency is truly a unique and creative laboratory where hands on help from highly skilled papermakers makes anything seem possible.
