087 White Noise

27.5 x 23 in
Paper & Glue 
 
Black and white strips, patterned onto triangles and rips on black pages.
 
After the black background was glued together, I started covering lighter spots with black fragments. Then I added layers without adding content. The composition of greys leaves a sort of static feel.
 
Sometimes it feels like you are spinning our wheels; or running in circles. Perhaps you need to look a little harder, or with different eyes. There IS still progress, but might not look the way you were expecting.

This painting can be shipped to you in a few ways: rolled, scrolled, or stretched. 
 
Rolled - means I roll the piece, with a sheet of butcher paper for protection, and ship it to you in a light-weight repurposed cardboard tube. You will have the flexbility to mount the piece how ever you wish.
 
Scrolled - means you receive a repurposed cardboard tube, but it also comes with two upcycled rods attached to the piece so that you get to unroll it like a scroll, and hang it with a screw on either side. 
 
Stretched - means I shape the paper around a wooden frame for the feeling of a mounted canvas.
 
No matter which of the three you choose, my work is always two layers of paper thick and coated in a layer of varnish for durability.
