2015

The works consist of newsprint, which is run through the printing press when the newspaper of the day is printed. The clean newsprint absorbs the excess color of today's press, which then is seen as an abstract pattern. At the same time, there are felt rolls, which are arranged according to the SMYK colors, which are changed once a week.

The works were based on a tactile and formalistic approach to language and language comprehension, and were created after a period in which I had not been able to read and write due to a traumatic experience.
