THE WALL

The Wall 2019, handmade paper, steel rods & pins, nylon rope, steel weights, 90 - 8 ½” x 11” sheets

The Wall, 2019-21 is a collection of handmade paper sheets embedded with visible text and iconography. The re-made sheets were made with paper pulp derived from shredded New York Times pages which hold articles about immigration, the border wall, deportations and refugee camps in the United States. The re-made 8 ½” x 11” sheets hang together creating a fragile barrier that is easily penetrated, unlike the complex conditions they refer to.
