Artist statement
‘Maybe Tomorrow’ is a five-piece mixed media drawing series exploring the hyper saturation and stimulation of modern society. It was created with a variety of media and visual languages, (each media and aesthetic with its own loaded history), which echoes the hyper saturation of daily life. Through this, the artwork proposes and presents collision as a source of playful potential, surprise, and wonder.
