Guerrero Gallery is pleased to announce "Building Context", an exhibition featuring works by a set of artists who focus on the utilization of the medium of paper in their craft. This show explores and surveys these artists' various methods of paper manipulation, which lend to uniquely creative existences to a simple material humbly evident in our everyday lives.

The body of works included in this show present the wide range of textures and depths that paper can embody. Through the use of different types of paper, including currency colorful vintage pages, the compilation of collages, sculptures, and hand-cut stencils present a thoughtful transformation of the medium. Aside from the fact that each featured piece is strongly built out in a context manner, the beautifully delicate nature of the material is still noticeably evident.
