I Create Cynical Collages That Tell The Uncomfortable Truth About Our Modern World
I make collages from newspapers, mixing up one image with another, usually found from the same newspaper examining the craziness of the modern world. All of my images are hand-made, without the use of computers. I find the images in newspapers, magazines given on trains, buses and bins.
My collages work to a basic rule of sourcing just two or three images. With these I can reinvent the original scene to communicate a new idea.
I suppose I’ve become fairly anti-technology. Although I now promote my art on websites, own an iPhone and use Facebook. It’s confusing, I wish I had been born 100 years ago.

It sad but true.. we honored and adored fashion.. luxury ..rich life style.. infotainment.. while we forgot there are people out there living in poverty.. starvation.. and we pretend not knowing about it or simply just ignore it. It sad really.

Very thought provoking. It shows, to me, how much we will look for distractions instead of taking notice of what we should be trying to improve.

You got that right. This is the vapid chunking of a deep beta.

Western culture is to live a happy life, there is nothing wrong with that. The problem is the corrupt third world country leaders who do nothing for their people and keep all their countries wealth for themselves. First world countries donate millions every year to these places and yet somehow they're still suffering
