Battle Royale At The Temple Of Love

I have been developing a new body of work that utilises and unites collage as a way of exploring pictorial and physical/textured shapes and motifs. This new series of work explores the physicality and ephemera of my studio through collecting graphite rubbings taken from my studio surfaces and textures of history and shapes from books collected from charity shops in Gorton, Manchester, within walking distance of my studio. By combining and synthesising the two processes, new worlds are created that explore the shapes, rhythms, harmonies, and textures of collaged ephemera.
