Newspaper Portraits
In collages from the Newspaper portraits series which dominated by the form referring to the shape of the head. In this series, I want, by using the large form, to show the individuality and distinctiveness of the portrayed person.
One half of the face is black, where an image of an averted eye looks through the empty eye socket, the other is blind, filled with fragments of photos and text. Under the split face are crossed arms.
Headlines
Using a collage inspired me to include the written word in my cycle. Thinking "about people", I automatically think about interpersonal communication.
Currently, thanks to the development of digital technology, communication is extremely facilitated. We send each other words and images, including videos, over any distance.
Four Headlines
The work consists of four equal square parts filled with text. These are randomly selected headlines of current newspaper articles. The tightly arranged squares of large, massive letters form a mosaic that fills the composition format.
I used movable matrices — hand-made fonts. My thoughts traveled back in time. I arranged my movable fonts bearing in mind the great importance of the movable type invented and used by Johannes Gutenberg for the first time in the mid-15th century.
