The Press
Papier maché(newspapers), 15.5 x 34 x 16 cm, 2019
A sculptural work that takes the form of a handheld Sony video camera, one of the primary devices used by various media outlets to cover significant events. The work employs traditional paper pulp-making methods, using materials such as newspaper clippings from different media reports on the same event. By utilising traditional techniques to construct the piece and repurposing politically charged printed matter, the work reflects on the manipulation of public opinion and the influence of the media on individuals and reality.
