The Paper Trail Project focuses on the role paper plays as a source of noise and irritation in everyday life. That constant accumulation of to-do lists, notes, mail, newspapers, coupons, and that pile of things that you’re meaning to read can all seem like an inescapable force. The Paper Trail Project uses pulp made up of that very clutter to form fresh sheets of wet paper on-site that are then applied to surfaces along the Art in Odd Places route. The Paper Trail grows along Orange Avenue as the project progresses.
