Sculpting the History of a City — The Atlantic: Cities
By Nate Berg
December 13, 2011
A city is shape and form, but also politics and history—qualities hard to capture in a map … [Matthew Picton] creates accurate block-by-block sculptures of sections of cities out of paper. The roughly four-by-six foot sculptures are created with city-specific documents, such as the pages of novels or the headlines of a newspaper.
I. Lower Manhattan
created from headlines that accompanied the 2001 World Trade Center bombing and DVD covers of the film “Towering Inferno” [and also] book covers of the novel The Plot Against America by Philip Roth
