ONE PAGE FOLDED COLLAGES
* I folded single magazine pages one to three times until I found a new image.
* No page was cut or torn, glued, or overly-labored.
* I will make more of these and continue to add them to this page.
* I will not make more than need to be made.
* Most of the images made using this process will be posted to Facebook; a select few are on display on this webpage.

Rick Salafia
"With dramatically bowed edges, coiled shapes, and fragments jutting in opposite directions, Instruments by Rick Salafia defies many standards of measurement. The ongoing series, which currently comprises more than 200 works, disregards the one-foot rectangle in favor of a playfully diverse array of shapes. Semi-circles stretch like a croissant, ends expand into wide, asymmetric forms, and a segment stretching just a few inches breaks free from the rest of the metal tool. While the pieces in Instruments take on impractical shapes and proportions, the individual inked lines and numbers remain relatively uniform, evoking the systemized nature of a typical ruler."
