Italy Black and White Collage

This artwork explores torn poster art in black and white and the beauty in the minutia of these ripped fragments of information. Taken primarily from the streets of Rome, Milan and Sicily over the last few years, these tiny scraps of paper reveal lost messages and notices about such things as house sales, school messages, and theatre information now layered in a beautiful surface texture which in turn emits a huge gestural energy. Glued onto a box canvas whereby the posters leak and ride around the edges, this artwork puts together these distant voices in to one and one piece of art.
