Local community newspapers from specific New York neighborhoods provide a non-commercial character—exactly what I am looking for.
Created through architectural layering: intertwined wire, straight and level lines, and twisted steel over lettering. Fine materials, delicate wire… objects with history. Nuclear white, dirty grey with dust-black… rusted wire or small found objects that carry meaning—saltpeter, the sea, the weathering of materials on the coast and at the moment of departure. Lost illusions transformed into stability and maturity.
