Want to wrap yourself in a city and see it from the inside? It would be an inner city of your thoughts and your state of mind. Such a vision inspired me to make this cutting. I started to cut as automatic writing, without any sketches or plans. I painted the white Tyvek sheet on one side, then cut each panel from top to bottom on that continuous piece of material. I was interested of the flow of thoughts and visions to give an overview of the dynamism of the city and inner city.

papercut on a single piece of material. Finished on May 17, 2001, New York City dimensions 162" x 52"(view larger image)

Visit this innercity and its inhabitants. Perhaps some of them are your neighbours..
