‘MY WORK AIMS TO CAUSE A REACTION IN THE VIEWER, THE JUXTAPOSITION OF FAMILIAR IMAGES WITH OVERLAYING TEXT OR A SMATTERING OF CONTROVERSY OR THE ODD SWEAR WORD TO ACCENTUATE. THANKS TO MY BACKGROUND, I USE THE TECHNIQUES OF MASS COMMUNICATION AND ADVERTISING, PAIRING WITH FOUND IMAGERY AND OBJECTS AND ASSERTIVE TEXT THAT CHALLENGES THE VIEWER’
