The Murmure 'Pochoirs' portfolio has instilled a newfound respect for my castaway hole puncher. Considering that I do most of my work on my laptop nowadays, I haven't had the need to pull out the three-hole or the single-hole punch in a long time. Yet now I see, with shame, that it can have a higher purpose than simply punching notes to stick in binders.
The Murmure 'Pochoirs' portfolio "came from the idea of stencilling: drilled areas of paper let the paint quickly produce pictorial patterns," according to the artist. They will be seen both indoors on white walls and outdoors on brick ones.
