The Cycle of Censorship

| The Cycle of Censorship;
Dina Scheel, Los Altos, CA, USA, 2012 Many of the ideas we take for granted now were once so “dangerous” that people were put to death for them. My book reflects the cycle of new ideas breeding censorship and alarm, only to become accepted and spawn more new ideas. An origami form called Fireworks was modified to make The Cycle of Censorship a moveable book that rotates through its center to tell its story. We start with an act of censorship - like a bombing - but the ideas (gold) emerge and spread as the book rotates, which then spawns more ideas, alarming people and causing more censorship (black). Size: 7" in diameter, 3" high; Materials: Tyvek, found papers, linen thread, acrylic paint and cotton linen material. DinaScheel@gmail.com |
