APER. IT’S EVERYWHERE. Look around you. Okay, so this magazine is printed on paper and you’re reading it. But ignore that for a second and look around you. What paper can you see? Newspapers, wrapping paper, Post-it notes, postcards, business cards, invoices, receipts, workshop manuals, books, vouchers, notes from friends, calendars, notebooks: I can see all of these without turning round. Paper is so familiar, in fact, that usually we don’t notice it. It’s just part of the stuff that’s there all of the time. And yet we continually talk about the paperless office. We send emails and text messages so often that it’s actually unusual, and a little bit pleasurable, to get a handwritten letter through the post. So, is our relationship with paper at at a turning point? “In a way, paper – which was once throwaway and fairly mundane and ephemeral – perhaps now has a bit more value,” says Saatchi Gallery director Rebecca Wilson.
