It Was Ruined When I Got Here

Collecting and often crumpling paper that I found on the street wherever I happen to be - Venice, Berlin, or Boston - this ongoing series explores how it feels to execute drawings and images on paper that has already been used up. Subtracting the imposed sense of preciousness on the materials, the only thing left to do is concentrate on image. Read more about this series in my blog post, It Was Ruined When I Got Here.
