Seth Balliett is a seasoned veteran of torn-paper portraits. One of his latest works is “Words of Hope.” This collage is entirely comprised of articles and headlines about the 2008 presidential campaign from Time Magazine (February-September 2008), torn and arranged to form a portrait of Barack Obama. The artist wanted to "recount HOPE this campaign has instilled in many Americans."
