Bang Bang, screen print and collage, 2014
Head for the horizon, I’ll meet you there.
The objects documented in this body of work are all treasured items that people carry with them to tell their stories by or to bring good luck. Loved and weathered, these often ordinary and everyday objects, carry great importance for their keepers and trigger personal memories of past adventures, hopes and dreams.
For this series of mixed media work, I’ve layered printed ephemera between hand-drawn images, paint and print. Traces of folds, etched and stitched marks are also found in the tactile surfaces reflecting the hidden or secret histories the objects portray.
These collages were exhibited at The Nancy Victor Gallery, Charlotte Street, London in the solo exhibition, Head for the Horizon, I’ll meet you there in 2014.
