Debris


Solo Exhibition.
Northern Rivers Community Gallery, Ballina Australia.
30.04.2026 – 21.06.2026

Debris presents a new series of large scale black and white hand painted banners installed as a disruptive presence within the gallery. Using scale and visual force to command attention, the works echo how advertising occupies space and shapes perception in everyday life.

Each banner is composed from fragments of discarded and outdated print material including posters, comics, newspaper clippings and ephemera. Through collage and painting, these materials collapse past and present, turning tools of persuasion into critique. The exhibition reflects on the saturation of commercial imagery and invites viewers to consider how consumer culture influences memory, identity and daily experience.



















"The debris of consumer culture is everywhere. This work won't let you ignore it."
