An Unholy Alliance

2016 - present
Art magazines, glue,
dimensions variable









This work looks at art magazines and compares the number of pages devoted to advertising to the pages with textual and image content, creating a 3D graphic that formally visualizes the tension between two interdependent and often intertwined worlds.

The pages of each magazine are reconstructed into two spherical volumes in the manner of papier maché by shredding their paper, displayed horizontally next to the spine of each magazine.
