My works are inspired by the humble fanaticisms of everyday life; anywhere from celebrity obsession to peppermint tea. I source imagery from television, film, and social media, playing with humour and frivolity to embody the obsessive and repetitive method in which they’re consumed. Using rudimentary materials, motifs are reproduced in poster-like scale; paying homage to traditional fan art.
