#Venice | Paper sculpted map | Matthew “Picton has constructed each piece with references to Thomas Mann’s 1911 novel Death in Venice […]. The walls […] are constructed with pages from his book as well as with segments of the musical score for Benjamin Britten’s operatic interpretation of the story. The paper itself has been steeped, from the bottom up, in water and mud dredged from the lagoon […] a clear reference to the current state of Venice and its future fate.” (Benjamin Starr)
