Mary Hark creates linen and flax papers for use in her own artwork, and her papers are also sought after by other artists, letterpress printers, and bookbinders. Since 2006, Hark has also worked with colleagues in Kumasi, Ghana to develop high-quality papers using pulp-mulberry, an invasive plant introduced from China in the 1960s. They hope to create a productive use for pulp-mulberry, which forms dense thickets and crowds out the native flora.
