Description There's a house in the Pigeon's Cove area of Rockport, MA. called the 'Paper House'. It was originally purchased as a summer home by Elis Stenman in 1922. The paper was intended to be used as insulation but Mr. Stenman just kept going. Many layers are held together with glue and covered with varnish which makes them waterproof! In addition to the insulation the furniture is also made of paper! The house is still standing and is open during the summers for tours. This is a photo of the paper on the front of the house, you can still read some of the print despite the many coats of varnish.
Robin EL-Hachem, Massachusetts Member Since January 2013 Artist Statement I'm in love with nature and all things outdoors! Working full-time means this has to be a hobby but I do take it seriously and hope my work reflects that. I will be adding new material and hope you can check back to see the new additions. Most of these images began as photographs and have been enhanced through digital means for added dimension and effect not possible with regular photography. In addition to the actual photos I spend hours creating them into images of art, I especially tend towards watercolor effects, I hope you enjoy them. Celebrate life!
