WORKS ON PAPER

Who Owns the News? It is made by assembling strips of cast paper, pulled apart and woven with rolled newspapers, corrugated cardboare, burnt edged papers, wallpaper and found objects. Material and form are deconstructed and then reconstructed into a new context.

These sculptures suggest both the fabric of an individual’s life, woven from diverse sources, and the fabrication of reality continuously spun by the media. Hanging on the wall, they are like garments that offer protection and a way of weaving together remnants of experiences that are always slipping from our grasp.

The ambiguity of news, the restructuring of events as well as restructuring of the truth is intrinsic in the work. The insertion of texts from newspapers and magazines allude to ubiquitous media spin and myths, woven directly into the fabric of the sculptures.
