Bending over a copy of the newspaper, blade in hand, Kim Rugg turns the first page into a pile of paper by neatly cutting out each letter. Then the author reconstructs the newspaper page, but in the way she wants: arranging all the letters of the original text in alphabetical order.
Collages, which are the result of painstaking work of Kim Rugg, are no longer text and do not contain any information. Now the author suggests the viewer not to read the newspaper, pondering the meaning, but to look at it and evaluate the graphic design: the font used, the spacing between the columns, the size of the headings, and so on. By the way, Kim Rugg works not only with texts: the published drawings and photographs, over which our heroine conjured, also become collages, only consisting not of letters, but of pixels.
"Los Angeles Times", "Financial Times", "Daily Mail", "The Guardian" … The patience of the author, through whose hands dozens of printed editions, can only be envied. However, newspapers are not the only material that Kim Rugg likes to work with. Her favorites also include brands and cereal boxes, which she, according to tradition, first chops into small pieces and then restores them in a new way.
Kim Rugg was born in 1963 in Montreal (Canada). She graduated from the Royal College of Art in London with a master's degree in sculpture.

Decorations from newspapers, magazines and comics. Newspaper Jewelry by Holly Ann Mitchell
We live merrily, dress stylishly, have fun sparingly. And this is how not only students behave, but also many wealthy people, provided that nature has endowed them with a sense of humor, style and a fair amount of creative thinking. And, of course, the lack of show-off. And if wedding dresses are made from toilet paper, why not be adorned with newspapers, magazines and comics? Newspaper Jewelry is the name of Holly Anne Mitchell's jewelry collection
Amazing collages from newspapers and magazines by Joe Webb
British artist Joe Webb is doing bullshit, as some grumblers might decide. But this nonsense is so original, fascinating and interesting that the results can be considered, if not masterpieces of contemporary art, then interesting, and sometimes witty or even philosophical pictures. It doesn't matter that Joe Webb rarely picks up paints and a brush. His mixed media collages are not inferior to modern painting and graphics in terms of realizing an idea
