About the Item
I begin each artwork with research. I navigate the Landsat archived images or mining
operations world-wide. The collection or images is curated to those which share a similar
visual familiarity and composition. The found materials are photographed and archived. I
decide on a size and format then start building a Photoshop model from the archival imagery, hundreds of arrangements and possibilities are tested. Then one just works.
A disruptive association of found materials resourced from discount fabric
stores and discarded designer wallpaper catalogues. A new "Gilded Age" of
exuberant excess and privilege, then and now.
