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.
