CARDBOARD THEATRICS
SUMMER 2026
Crash Bang Wallop. 80x60cm. 2026.
Collage on paper.
A moment of drama in the midst of the banger race. The cars endlessly circle the slick track. At face value it’s a pointless expulsion of energy (human and machine) and yet there is something appealing about circling the smooth black tarmac at speed. Sporting aggression, something tribal. Maybe it's elementary. Be the bravest and take the prize. Survival of the fittest.
Smashing It. 90x50cm. 2026.
Cardboard, paint.
Death or Glory. 30x40cm. 2026.
Cardboard, paint.
You Were Working. 40x40cm. 2026.
Cardboard, paint.
You have really been smashing it out of the park recently with your sales targets. Business life is a battle and you are WINNING.
A battalion of cardboard army men attacking you with paper spears and drum beats.
A cocktail bar song lyric that always sticks in the head. Thanks The Human League.
Precinct is a model for an opera set; a speculative opera in which we would find out more about the lives of the people who live in those small flats, often found at the back of suburban shopping precincts.
It’s a curious mix – the backstage area of the retail theatre, fused with domesticity. An unintended highly theatrical space.
Precinct. 40x25cm. 2026.
Cardboard, paint.
A supersize, garish, cardboard fork and knife set are poised and ready to devour another calorific, fat-heavy, meal. The piece is intended to be a comment on the continuing obesity crisis and the link between overeating and capitalist instincts. The good people at Asda (and many other places) will be delighted to sell you the pizza that makes you fat, the XXL tshirt to contain your new belly, the weight loss products that make you feel like you’re in control and the gym clothes you convince yourself you now need. The notion of Asda having any sort of care or concern for the human at any point in this chain of events is severely misguided. There’s a correlation between overeating and financial strife – eating less would mean buying less, being healthier and having more money. It seems to me that humans are somewhat doomed by not noticing this link. Trapped in the system.
Weapons of Mass Consumption. 80x40cm. 2026.
Cardboard, paint.
