About this work

This piece is a wall of tiny, cut-out letters and numbers glued onto a light brown background. The text is scattered randomly, overlapping in places, with some red shapes mixed in. The colors are mostly beige and brown, with the red spots standing out like small bursts of color. The artist burned the paper first, giving it a rough, uneven look. This makes the letters look like they’re floating on a textured surface. Check out The Museum of Modern Art to see more work like this.
