art: Back to the Future
artist: Ekua Holmes
medium: torn and cut paper
As a child, I would sit at my grandmother’s desk where she had collected junk mail, greeting cards and old magazines for me. I would spend the afternoon cutting shapes out of these discarded items and creating new pictures out of them. Quietly absorbed in my own thoughts, the world of reality would disappear and my hopes, dreams and memories would emerge. It is the same process I encounter as I develop my ideas today.
