Torn Layers

No. 10 of 20 · free · 300 dpi

What you seeA row of vertical strips of torn coloured paper stands on a cream sheet, each beginning and ending at a slightly different height, with a pale paper core showing along the torn ends. Most are warm neutrals; one is terracotta.

What it meansA collage made only of tearing: the rough ends are the drawing, and the uneven heights give the row its rhythm.

Where it worksFor a studio, an office or anywhere with plenty of clean lines to soften.
