Paper Works by Andreas Kocks

German artist, Andreas Kocks (born 1960) works in massive and meticulously crafted installations of cut paper. Working solely with paper and a limited color palette, Kocks’ forms seek to evoke and balance elements of four artistic genres: the linearity of drawing, the painterly brushstroke, the site-specific element of architecture, and the physicality of sculpture. He lives and works in New York City and Munich and his works can be seen in museums and private collections in Europe and America.

Sexual Violence is the New Normal

As Dr. Christine Blasey Ford testified about being sexually assaulted by SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh, more and more women shared their own rape stories and why they didn’t report it at the time.

The sad thing is that it’s become clear that sexual assault is much more common than we ever could have imagined. Statistics say 7 out of 10 women don’t report their rapes. But statistics are so much different than actually hearing the stories.

Before women felt confrontable sharing their accounts of assault in public, their stories were merely whispers shared with close friends, if shared at all. Back then we could pretend that rape culture wasn’t an epidemic. We could avoid dealing with the harsh reality that every 98 seconds an American is sexually assaulted.

But those aren’t just numbers anymore. These are real people with a trauma they have quietly carried on their backs.
