Shredded prints glued to masonite cut hexagons, tied together with hemp twine, covered with beeswax and tree resin for preservation. The idea was to document a photo-a-day. Each photo was shredded and photographed before and afterwards. Then the shredded pieces were glued randomly to a 6″ masonite hexagon. Each hexagon had a line of Yeats poetry embedded in the shredded photos. The entire piece consisted of 132 hexagons each tied together with hemp string and attached at the top to a walking stick. This piece was created during my third semester of grad school and with advisor Geoff Halber. I was very inspired by British artist Simon Starlings work.
