'Inspired by the symbolism of traditional Vanitas artworks, the original illustration plays upon the futility of worldly goods and pleasures in the inevitability of death. Whilst more explicit representations of consumerism and waste evoke questions concerning responsibility and consequence, highlighting what is present and what will always be present. Resistance of contemporary culture’s refusal to acknowledge decay, seeking to draw our attention towards material culture's impermanence.

The prints in question are comprised of six individually hand-painted layers, which overlap in key areas to form an expanded, multi-coloured palette, encompassing a rich array of variable tones. The spontaneous and frankly unpredictable aspects of this process resist the controlled and systematized modes of production, championed by traditional modes of screen-printing,  to encourage a fluid and unrestrained approach towards re-production. One which the artist aligns closer towards painting within the expanded field, with the unique stand-alone pieces unable to be reproduced exactly.'
