Permutation no. 845

Part of a mini-series of related collage Permutations, this piece draws on textual papers collected from sources from all over the world. The series is comprised of four pieces that focus on color palettes reminiscent of the classic elements. The colors of this piece represent fire. The sources include newspapers from Russia, China, India and Ecuador, plus other sources with languages including Dutch, Spanish, Mandarin, Russian, Hindi, and Vietnamese ranging back from 1933. There is also a portion from the handwritten journal of my great grandfather, John Kramer, from the year of my birth, 1975.
