Shoes


Shoes
Acrylic on paper
22 x 21 inches

Study for a new stencil.

I was thinking about some imagery I have seen around by MBW rehashing pop=culture images, and sometimes doing a mash-up of them. I enjoy them for the instant associations I have to the imagery, but I personally find it more interesting and challenging to create images that are personal and try to make them images of popular culture.

Hence this stencil, and more to come of images from my life that I have interacted with, and have aged. As part of a consumer society I buy mostly mass produced items, so in a sense they are part of popular culture, but through their use and decay they have been transformed.
