Description of previous showing
The clippings I collected in the spring of 2001 were fabricated into a hundred and nineteen small works of varying sizes, over the winter months of 2001-02. They are newspaper articles copied onto four different colours of paper; blue, green, yellow, ocker. These are glued to particleboard and affixed to pressboard, razed slightly with a spacer. The eight-cm. borders are painted in five different colours; pink, yellow, black, gold, and red.
Another of the peaces is comprised of a hundred and eleven blocks made from the paper from which the articles were taken. * The first batch of blocks were processed in the spring of 2001 the remainder in the spring of 2002. There appearance varies from dark grey to a ocker grey depending on the ink content and how long the pulp was left to soak.
This process was documented using drawings produced in 1990 to make eight blocks these are of a more symmetrical shape and have a pleasant green colour.
The last of the peaces completed, are six collages framed with wood frames stained red and varnished. Each contains a group of photos documenting the paper processing; soaking pulping pressing and as well as a portion of front pages of newspapers pertaining to the Bamiyan Buddhas.
