Guggar Petter (Danish) Woven newspaper and fiber basket 7 1/2iin. x 9in. x 3in. (18cm. x 23cm. x 7cm) When I arrived to Calif. in 1986, I saw how the California sun had sun-yellowed/patinated a stack of newspaper on a sunny deck, and I found this yellowing of material quite interesting. So from this point, I started to reflect on how I possibly could use this material. I found that by rolling the paper in tubes, I could create units, and manipulate them into 3D forms - creating both wall and floor sculptures. A couple of years later I started to construct 2D works by the use of a weaving technique. It all evolved quite fast, as I managed to control the material/newspaper, and transform it from a fragile to a strong material.
