Born
in New Zealand but now living in Australia, Graham Hay uses the technique called
paper clay construction.He assembles his very architectural sculptures using
leather hard and dry shapes in paper clay . Wool, wood, pasta and indeed any
material he thinks will help him with his constructions is used. A very rapid method of working is assisted by force drying the joins with a heat gun. |

If his sculptures get broken even after bisque firing they can be easily repaired by joining the broken pieces with paper clay slip and refiring. Pouring slip into a low mold to make a sheet of paper clay, which can then be cut into many different shapes. |
