Between sunrise (6:12) and sunset (18:21) on the Spring equinox 2019, 96 sheets of mulberry paper were made to line the interior window of a small south-facing barn in rural Northumberland. They slowly covered the 8 panelled window, gradually diffusing the light within while revealing a clear reflection of the sky outside. Insects, cobwebs and chipped paint lay between the panes of glass and the damp moulded paper. Removing the paper a month later revealed the traces of life captured forever in time.
