This piece shows ten small squares glued to a page. Each one holds a different material: fabric, plastic, cork letters, metal rings, wire mesh, aluminum, wood, and an electric wire. Some look rough. Others are smooth or shiny. The cork letters spell out a name in a messy, handwritten style. The materials don’t match—some are industrial, others look like scraps. Check out Alighiero Boetti next. His work often mixes everyday objects in surprising ways.
