| The primary
structural devices for Neustein's use of paper involve folding, cutting and tearing one
single sheet of paper. One side of the sheet is sprayed with color. The other
side is colored with a brush in bold, personal, colorful and interlocking strokes. Certain
parts of the paper are then partially or completely separated from the whole unit by
cutting or tearing. This displacement alters its inner and outer space, destroying
and manipulating a new reality. Only the use of highly impressionable paper can
offer a new conceptual independence, a result of the questioning of form and content.
