I explore the intersection of fashion and consumerism, using collage as a drawing tool. I collect, reclaim, and reuse Duratrans (the ever present light box advertisements) and fragrance campaign posters seen within department stores as a source material.

Employing a reductive language, I flirt with the viewer’s gaze by altering the material’s surface. By cutting away imagery pulled from luxury item advertising I reveal a new conversation with broad references to the female form. Gucci links, William Morris, art nouveau, tears and textiles intertwine as they overtake the seduction of these advertisements within a consumer culture. Ultimately commenting upon the American lust for material gratification.
