Paper Trails by Laura Shabazz transforms rescued books and upcycled magazines into painterly, representational collage. Using book covers, spines, illustrations, and pages of text, Shabazz explores storytelling, memory, and the traces we leave behind. Created from discarded printed materials diverted from the landfill, this exhibition reflects on imagination, visual experience, and the therapeutic act of ripping, rearranging, and rebuilding paper into powerful works of art.#KeanUniversity #CougarsClimbHigher Visit the Kean University WEBSITE: https://www.kean.edu Follow us on TWITTER - https://twitter.com/KeanUniversity Follow us on INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/keanuniversity/ Like us on FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/keanuniversity/Kean University, New Jersey’s urban research university, is a national institution of higher education recognized for its diversity, innovation and the social mobility of its graduates.
