Peter Jacobs has produced a collage every day created solely from the texts and images of that days newspaper. Through this process, Jacobs distills down the many disparate news stories of any given day into a single cohesive view. These collages rely on the integration of organic and inorganic forms that comprise the ephemera born of printed matter. Every image, in turn, exhibits a dynamic tapestry of sometimes vague, sometimes explicit references to current events. Ultimately they are all eloquent tableaus of our Post-Modern existence laced with irony, rhetoric, and wit. Surely, these journals will ascend in historic significance as they inevitably transform from exposes on contemporary life to chronicles of an era for future generations to decode. Marina Delaney
