wood-chip wallpaper
Wood-chip is the cheapo wallpaper that’s been in use since the 1920’s to cover all sins. It has been described as the enemy of mankind due to the virtual impossibility to remove.
This got me thinking along the lines of:
hiding, disguise, concealment, pretense, falseness and lies…
It would be great to write out lies onto wood chip. Then I thought about the confessional, but really people/ strangers (or anyone for that matter) wouldn’t want to write out a lie they had told. Perhaps it is more subtle to know why someone had told a lie.
Wood chip covers up the damaged and imperfect. I drew a broken de-bobbler machine and found the effect on the mark making interesting. But, much more interesting: paste broken objects under wood chip paper.
