Statement:
Newspaper as a construction material is cheap and easy to obtain. It forgives easily. I love the color and feel and its changes in color over time. The size range is equal to that of wood. Texture and density are adjustable. The audience has a history and experience with newspaper that they bring to each of my pieces resulting in a dialog that transcends anything that I thought of as an artist.

By contrast, newspaper as printed matter is enormously expensive to our society and world. We cut a tremendous amount of timber for this material that is read for only a few minutes then thrown into our landfills or recycled at a cost to the country and to the locale doing the recycling. Intact newspapers have been found in landfills that are 40 years old.
