As we near the end of summer, I am astonished at how differently paper acts in a humid climate. Previously crisp folds go limp, and books change shape. After living in lower relative humidity for so long, it is tough to know how to respond. Fall air should be drier, but winter will bring humidity again, and so the cycle will repeat itself.
I recently noticed the same issues are starting to show up in the origami pieces on display at my home, even with air conditioning.
I am hoping that another book or paper artist will chime in and comment with some tips or ideas!
In the meantime, I am weighing whether encasing future works in a layer of acrylic medium would help, by sealing the papers.
