Stand Still Do Nothing

The world has changed dramatically. We scroll endlessly to try to understand, to connect, to dissociate, but each day the landscape gets bleaker and more confusing. As social media controls our political understandings, and digital innovation shapes our sense of self and other, unreality turns to derealization, borders to prisons. The veils have been pulled away to reveal capitalisms best ally is fascism. More flags. America’s mask falls and Trump’s orange face appears again, slightly less blurry this time round. More harm. Lisa Simpson, Kitty Cats, Snakes, Apples and iPhones populate these colourful works that illuminate the internal struggles and embodiment of the horrors of being in these times. What can we do?
