Episode #068: Arturo Herrera's assistant Jeff Bechtel describes the process for translating one of the artist's complex drawings into a refined monochromatic paper collage. Filmed in Herrera's New York studio, Bechtel discusses how cartoon sources and stock imagery become abstracted into larger systems.

Arturo Herreras work includes collage, work on paper, sculpture, relief, wall painting, photography, and felt wall-hangings. Rooted in the history of abstraction, Herreras playful work taps into the viewers unconscious, often intertwining fragments of cartoon characters with cut-out shapes and partially obscured images that evoke memory and recollection.
