But frankly it is more of a craft. As an art concept it’s derivative and not very well composed. As a craft it’s cute, and if you don’t want to put the work and hours into making it yourself (and there’s good reason not to) then it’s not really unfairly priced.
I picked up something like this at a craft fair years ago, except instead of just a flat visual layout the person had used the rolled magazines to create a hanging set of shelves. Really neat…
Even if it was high art, really there’s no shame in making your own assuming you can make it as well. And if you can make it as well or better… why then… welcome to the life of an artist.
