Collage.

This collage is part of the "Recyled Paper Series" of works which has multiple messages around sustainability and the broader multiple contexts of the artist's practice.
That is, understanding and enlisting cultural change processes alongside the political and the theoretical tradition of art aesthetics and critical practice semantics.
The artist's 'range of series of works', for which this series belongs to, is part of a hyperconformism to the fractured nature of our times. One thats has multiple purposes like an action learning research perspective enmeshed within and without classification.
It is a purposed work where the artist enlists the will of gravity using paper and the semiotics of the material to demonstrate a continual change or a slow movement of the falling paper. The artist is collaborating with 'natural forces' and 'periods of time' as the work unfolds its potential to change over time, 'behind glass', like the metaphoric barriers separating the inside from the outside world. Or the 'us and them' or any other dialectic way of thinking. What message can this send?
Interestingly, the forces of nature apply to both sides of the supposed separation of both worlds and a viewer can see through the barrier.
The artist collaborates with the environment to produce art made between the natural environment and the human world as a model for understanding our place and our culture.
The artist gets impressions, communications and a conversation back from the environment.
Using humour the artwork is about how it's framed. Boom boom. Furthermore, the material is hand ripped by the artist and are mostly used toilet rolls. Who wants a toilet roll hung on their wall?
