To create his unique artworks, Hesseling uses varnish treated newspaper or book sheets which he applies on transparent Plexiglas plates. Thanks to the varnish treatment, the paper sheets become translucent and generate, when placed on top of one another, the impression of depth even on a bi-dimensional surface. The result of this creative process are collages in which images are constructed by the juxtaposition of thousands of newspaper scraps. Moreover, most of newspaper cuttings remain legible, indicating a specific time period and giving his work a very real dimension.
