Gugger Petter is a world renowned Danish artist who uses rolled newspaper tubes on hemp cords to produce visually stunning pieces of art. On the left she was commisioned to do a piece on Obama and below Elton John.
Gugger:
"For the past fourteen years I have worked with newspaper
as my main
medium-creating both two and three-dimensional works with
this material. My series of
large weavings are created from rolled newspaper tubes which
are then woven on
hemp cord. The weavings are based on an oversized
representational image-an
observation of daily life, and newspaper pages are carefully
selected in order to
depict my simple, graphic, and storytelling expression. I am fascinated by newspaper as a material, and love the
information that is
packed into a newspaper because it is the diary of our
lives."
