Fast Consumption

We have become professional consumers, and the drivers of seemingly endless economic growth.

Pop products reflect the new consumer space we inhabit and Pop is everything from automobiles to packaged meats.

The works comprising 'Fast Consumption' are colourfully monochromatic. A Focus on colour draws attention to the reality of the objects depicted and their everyday banality.

There is not judgment passed, this is an examination of how we define our own specialness through the objects that surround us. Can we be special when everything possessed is identical?
