A series of dissapointments







Each of these papers began as hope and was shaped by loss and defeat then cast aside. Their forms reveal a state of mind by grief and nervous tension. The papers reveal the failed bets on lottery or just used bus tickets that no longer need as can't re use but think stephen Gill liked collecting these due to fascination to what happened through the days and where people been and prices and the look on what happens to the paper when left on ground crinkling up and getting soaked leading to being deformed and mis printed. 

I could link my Irving Penn still life influence to this by crinkling and ripping my alcohol receipts instead of playing cards standing against shot glass and can still put at least one playing card facing up and one card back to front and have no cards spread on ground because don't want too much in the image.
