Paper in a world of art! Gugger Petter

Gugger Petter is a Danish artist that works with newspaper for nearly twenty years. She creates two and three dimensional works with this material and her fascination with newspaper “consists not only of its being the diary of our lives” as she claims, it also presents her with a black and white, as well as a limited color palette, which has always been her choice.

For Gugger, newspaper is a very respectful material, she doesn't see it as “recycled” or “trash” material. The fragile newspaper is manipulated till it becomes a strong material, it is rolled tightly into tubes and later sealed by varnish. To give the 2 and 3 dimensional effect, Gugger uses the weaving technique which helps creating a desired heavy structure.
