I love the aesthetics of
words, both written and printed, and for a long time I’ve been looking for a
way to recycle newspapers, using to create art. I believe words also deserve a
special place in museums, and this was the way I found to fulfill both desires.
I cut the newspaper by
hand, unevenly, and glued the pieces to the front of a poster (I was also
looking for a way to recycle my collection of movie posters). Then I drew the
different shapes separately and colored them with pastels, which were later
glued them in place over the newspaper canvas. I finally drew swirls with a
sharp pointed stick over the drawing, to create different patterns and
textures.
