Mock newspaper rendered in imaginary script.

Published "in newspaper format in Argentina, at a time when that nation was living under a dictatorship and censors reviewed every piece of mail leaving the country. This work made it through because the censors did not understand that her nonsense calligraphy represented a critique of what passed for news"--Clive Phillpot, in Convergence: the Furnace and MoMA.
