The story of the soldier, the Marine, the men and the women and the journeys within the military service in a time of war is the basis for this project.
Utilizing uniforms worn in combat, veterans cut, cook, beat and form sheets of paper out of their uniforms. In this way, veterans are able to use the transformative process of papermaking to reclaim their uniform as art and begin to reconcile their experiences as a soldier in war.
The Combat Paper Project is a collaboration initiated by Drew Matott and Drew Cameron, involving war veterans, activists and artists.
