new of the world

an exploration into a childhood medium

This summer, I am covering my hands in paste and digging in to paper mâché.
Elevating this medium to fine art presents a challenge as it can be hard to resist to play and create something for pure fun...but I am feeling a deeper connection to the newspaper that I am using to create the forms and patterns. 
Printed news seems like a dying art with the digital age in full force .. and with the age of "fake news" buzzing in recent years...elevating print news holds a certain importance to me.  Recycled news doesn't have to be just a bird cage liner.
