About this work

This image is a collage of old newspaper clippings. The papers are yellowed and torn, stuck together with tape. Headlines and ads cover the page—some words are circled in felt-tip pen, others crossed out. It looks like someone cut these pieces from different papers and rearranged them. The handwriting in the top right corner reads, *"Quite Besserly! this is not the notion for you."* The mix of news stories and ads feels messy but intentional. The colors are mostly black, white, and yellow, with a few red and blue accents. Look up Nam June Paik next to see how he turned everyday materials into art.
