By Catherine Westerman, visual artist from Melbourne: There is something special about this man made fibre that we use for so many different things. We write and draw on it, we wrap things in it, we cut patterns from it, we cover our walls with it, we make books out of it, we wrap our food in it, our lives are surrounded by paper everyday and then,  when we have finished with it, we just throw it away.
