Elliott Prio, a 4-year-old boy from the UK, shouted to the gunman with an AK47: “You’re a bad man, let us leave". The terrorist allowed Elliott, his 6-year-old sister and his mum Amber, who had been shot in the leg, to escape. The gunman even gave them Mars bars before saying: “Please forgive me, we are not monsters.”
Le Devoir or International Harold Tribune, Miriam hand carves newspaper lace. Part of the text is completely redrawn, and the photo on the page, the author leaves virtually untouched. For images only selectively add pieces of the pattern, weaving their way into the overall picture.
Canadian artist Myriam Dion transforms everyday newspapers into gorgeously patterned hand-cut pages. She uses an X-Acto knife to carve into the paper, producing repetitive decorative lace and designs that mimic the open holes on lace fabric.
In each piece, the words become abstract snippets of letters, images are accompanied by swirling lines and leafy patterns, and bits of photographs are left untouched to create an interesting blend of reality surrounded by ornamental embellishments. All of the latest news, politics, sports, and entertainment around the world become obsolete as the delicate carvings consume the pages.
Dion carefully slices around the name of each newspaper, offering her viewers a bit of context by displaying legible locations and dates, and each piece is reminiscent of a large tapestry, filled with visual stories of recent current events.

The Angora rabbit is a variety of domestic rabbit bred for its long, soft wool. The Angora is one of the oldest types of domestic rabbit, originating in Ankara (historically known as Angora), Turkey, along with the Angora cat and Angora goat. The rabbits were popular pets with French royalty in the mid-18th century, and spread to other parts of Europe by the end of the century. They first appeared in the United States in the early 20th century. They are bred largely for their long Angora wool, which may be removed by shearing, combing, or plucking.
