The Uncut Collection - Ransom Note Poetry

This poetry project is based on “To make a Dadaist poem” by Tristan Tzara, and further inspired by the idea that a ransom note might be made out of individually cut letters and words from different print sources in order to avoid the unique features of handwriting, typewriter, or printer being used later to identify the kidnappers. The concept originally began as a writing exercise to avoid actual writing. Photographed 12"x12" originals with 10 unique photoshopped versions.
