Cutbacks

2017

5 fibre-based archival photographs, mounted on board, collaged, with acrylic paint, 100x120cm

The collages are made from abandoned fibre-based photographic posters I found in a cellar of one of a closed textile mill buildings in Estonia. The images, produced in early 1980s, were displayed outside of the mill celebrating its people and machines. I have cut people’s figures out and then filled their silhouettes with a hand-painted Photoshop pattern.
