John Babcock is a California studio artist. His medium is paper, and his work has been shown in major museums internationally. He has lectured and conducted workshops throughout the United States and India. His paperworks are included in many private and public collections including The Museum of Arts and Design, New York.   I have been splashing pulp on pulp in my work for thirty years to activate space and create a spontaneous gesture. The way I do it now, is to make the splash on a piece of polyethylene. When the right splash is achieved, I sponge it or let it dry a bit so it won't run, pick up the plastic sheet like a su, and roll off the "splash" image to just the right place in the piece.
