Rugged shapes and rich earth tones set in pulp fill the gallery in Catalunya. Sures‘ inspiration for this series in colored pulp was Spain’s multi-peaked mountain range, Montserrat. Five of her large-scale works and nearly 20 smaller, embossed pieces will be on view.
Sures was able to make this work with the support of Museu Molì Paperer de Capellades, Spain and The Arts and Humanities Council of Montgomery County, MD.
