This volume documents the Paper Pools series, in which Hockney experiments with colored paper pulp on handmade paper, integrating the image into the paper fiber. The work explores his fascination with light, water, and reflections, especially in pools, in more abstract compositions. It includes full-color reproductions, preparatory studies, and texts by the artist, showing a transitional stage in which Hockney reinvents the boundaries of his medium with freshness and creativity.
