You see tiny scraps of newspaper glued to lined notebook paper, ink lines scribbled over them like tangled hair. Attie didn’t paint a scene—she built one from things most people throw away. The ink lines feel like thoughts racing over everyday clutter. The whole piece is small enough to hold in your hand, but it feels big, like a secret diary page. To see more work that turns scraps into art, look up 21st-century women.
