My question is: How do you get the "discarded vessel" mould out of the finished product? I can only assume it must be shattered and removed piece by piece from the interior of the paper creation. So a vase or pot or whatever is destroyed to make a less durable vessel out of harmful ingredients. Nice.

I work with the resins she uses and they are not enviromentaly friendly. Taking the green issue out of the equation I dont like these objests, crude looking, No finess, Student fodder.

Anyone who has worked with resins can attest to their volatility. If left the alone, the paper pulp would degrade much faster than when mixed with these resins. So if I mix my poop with epoxy resin and make a dining chair, is that reducing the waste stream? Give me a break. The whole eco-green-sustainable gimmick is getting out of hand people. Not to knock the artist, they make no such claims. Tiffany, polyurethane and epoxy are hardly ’sustainable’ or good for the environment.
