Better World
“The paper grocery bag came from the Grand Union Supermarket on Washington Square, the local store to get groceries from during the time I was living in Manhattan in 1986. I transcribed elements of the printed text from the bag, re-emphasising the slogan in my own stencil text format. It proclaimed a ‘new’ environmental message, now seen as a powerful, prophetic slogan. Spray paints, metallic paint, and pearlescent paints were layered on and scraped off with ridged paint scrapers to achieve a richly textured surface and the look of a worn poster.”
