Tacit Knowledge celebrates seven years of Dieu Donné’s West Bay View Foundation Fellowship, an immersive studio mentorship for emerging papermakers to expand and enrich their artistic practices at Dieu Donné’s papermaking studios in Brooklyn, NY. Artists and papermakers Anna Hendrick Karpatkin Benjamin, Katharine L. DeLamater, Candy Alexandra González, Jaz Graf, Lauren Krukowski, SR Lejeune, and Anela Ming-Yue Oh each spent three to six months in the Dieu Donné papermaking studios, fully immersing themselves in the art of papermaking, supporting artists and projects coming through the studio, and learning to hone their techniques and develop their own practices. Their fellowships culminated in dedicated professional studio days for each artist to each create new bodies of artwork in handmade paper. Their resulting artworks pull from personal, social, and historical experience, and explore ritual, identity, heritage, and environment, mining both inherited and privatized forms of knowledge.
