ABOUT THE WORK
My practice is driven by a specific obsession. How consumerism and popular culture shape our everyday lives without us being aware.
Research
The work begins in archives of discarded magazines, propaganda leaflets, comic books and advertising clippings, building a personal collection of imagery that has been forgotten, overlooked or written off as trash.
Collage
Fragments are cut, selected and collaged into new compositions. This is where the archaeology happens, where unrelated images from different eras and contexts are placed together and start to reveal something.
Paint
The collages are painstakingly rebuilt in paint. The stark black-and-white style deliberately echoes the texture of photocopies and cheap print, stripping images back to their raw graphic core.
