Homemade Cupcake



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.
