All About Abaca features Morgan Conservatory Artists-in-Residence who regularly utilize the fiber abaca, a highly regarded fiber in papermaking communities, and local artists who are new to the medium. Each artist was given a 40” x 60” sheet of handmade abaca paper to manipulate and use as they saw fit within their own artistic practice. Abaca (Musa textilis), also known as manilla hemp, is a plant native to the Philippines. Aside from papermaking, abaca is primarily used as a biodegradable alternative to synthetic fibers such as material for high quality tea bags, rope and more.
