Artist Statement:
‘These designs come from my
interest in history, current
affairs, the media and pop
culture. Borrowing imagery
from war and current affairs
photography, propaganda and
presenting them in a graphic
way. In this world of
immediate and total
information, civilization
continues to repeat past
mistakes and atrocities.
Relatively recent historical
events such as World War II,
the Vietnam War or the Gulf
War seem to have occurred in a
completely different age.
After being viewed through the
media, television,
photography, books, etc., the
effects of many shocking
images have become watered
down. It becomes an almost
fictional tale, a story to be
illustrated and interpreted.’
