The “Wear the News™” by Elena Gregusova is an artistic reflection of contemporary environmental issues in multicultural context. The shape of every object is artistic transformation inspired by a unique historical event, personality or culture. The use of specific typography and the color of used paper are supporting the visual information. The collection is a prime example of what can be done with everyday materials on hand and how discarded items can be transformed into beautiful works of art. The extensive process involved in bringing a single Wear The News™ piece to life requires hundreds of hours of handwork using classic textile, sculpting and craft techniques. Some of the shapes are formed from over 100,000 hand made pieces assembled together.

Current collection features about 30 unique newspaper sculptures, which are the base for the future World collection.
