​[framing illusive]

Taking imagery from a Spring fashion catalogue, this collage series seeks to create space, generate movement, and redefine the underlying sensation of eternal desire that consumer culture needs to operate. The sensual qualities of clothing have been domesticated, repurposed, cleansed and their symbolism reconsidered.  The collage process involves soaking the paper in water before gluing onto pre-soaked cotton paper. The result leads to reduction of gloss and a very smooth collage, albeit for the scuff marks that appear during the glueing. 

Relationships between images are haphazard, sometimes forming accidentally, encouraged by the intuitive nature of collage as a technique. The scene becomes a story, a character present yet unidentifiable to the viewer. There is no subliminal message in this photo to 'buy the product' - enabling the ever present cycle of consumer culture to be momentarily placed on hold.
