The Morning Post

2018

South China Morning Post newspapers, ink.

(120 x 30 inches)

The Morning Post is a triptych composed of articles from every newspaper collected while living in China from November 25th to December 20th, 2018. Half collage, half painting, each article profiles the impending trade war between the US and China and the unique impact of the global news on the housing crisis in Hong Kong. The image created, uses hand-made inks and skews the text of strategically chosen articles to create a illusion of high rises, mirroring the polarization of the natural world with a booming urban metropolis.
