Promises I is a set of twenty individually created pieces on handmade paper. The background of these works are created by using reverse transfer impressions from recent newspapers.
The faded stories feature pictures of knotted ropes.
Set in the present, the work examines how news that appears objective and unrelated can entice us in with false promises. The commitments to justice, peace, and non-violence, that our political and social structures make with us.
