Permacrisis

 

 

‘Permacrisis’, a term that describes ‘an extended period of instability and insecurity’, has been named Collins Word of the Year 2022. It is one of several words Collins highlights that relate to ongoing crises the UK and the world have faced and continue to face, including political instability, the war in Ukraine, climate change, and the cost-of-living crisis. Six words on Collins’ list of ten words of the year are new to CollinsDictionary.com, including ‘permacrisis’.

 

 

A 7 or 8 step, step-by-step ...

step 1

I started with foil cardboard ...

( I know it doesn't look metallic, but trust me? it is) 

rescued from an opened Costco package, 

the kind you have to cut to get into?

step 2

Adding graphic text from a Verizon  junk mail ad.

step 3

And a second torn strip of the same add. I prefer the torn edge.

step 4

And, a torn piece from the reverse side of the same ad junk mail.

step 5

Mark-making tissue, the process shown here in an earlier blog.

step 6

A torn piece from another ad. junk mail to add contrast.

step 7

Final piece is a circular-ish shape from 

a different piece of junk mail.

Step 8 below, is digitized, a subtle change.

step 8

I love using junk mail & throw-away stuff.
