Drew Francis Cameron pulps military uniforms into handmade paper. Through Combat Paper workshops he facilitates the process; offering material and space for people to deconstruct various uniforms and form them into sheets of paper and artwork. 

A former soldier and Iraq War veteran, Cameron has worked with a traveling studio modality throughout the country for the previous two decades. Responding to American war and the aftermath through paper, print and book, Combat Paper frequently works within the ranks of those actively and formerly in the US military. 

Cameron’s work has been presented and exhibited internationally. His books and print editions are in numerous public collections and libraries throughout the country including the Library of Congress. He maintains his paper studio and residence in Iowa City, Iowa.

In his lecture Cameron will discuss the collaborative nature of hand papermaking, the function and process of Combat Paper workshops and recent print projects.
