Rift

By Jake Francis 2024

Combining the hollows of PNG design with our own climate calamities, Rift (2024) updates an industrious scene to our modern inconvenient truths. Bringing into the literal frame the losses of previous marvels, it's surface level commentary and minimal effort echoes our own run-of-the-mill response to threat and regret.

Selected for ‘Now and Then’ - a contribution to the 2024 Fringe Arts Bath exhibition programme, 44AD gallery. May - June 2024
