Newspaper Piece

This project was especially interesting for me to explore. I used my artwork and some typed articles that I found in old Russian newspapers. The one article that I kept in mind throughout the project was one about sensorship and people not being able to express themselves for fear of severe punishment. This is what a large body of my work is about and this piece is a comparison between my works and the works of artists affected by what was written in the article at the time. I found some interesting similarities. The music is by Alexander Vertinsky, who was himself persecuted during the revolution.
