welcome to the anthropocene
Another series of digital collage work using vintage postcards to address contemporary events. Moving the focus from local and national onto global concerns relating to the climate crisis, I have used my collection of 20th century vintage postcards featuring romantic couples in idyllic locations, combining them with my own photographs of the wild and unspoilt Penwith landscape. The couples embody an earlier more innocent age when there was no hint of the environmental catastrophes to come. Each image features a comment or slogan taken from various media sources referencing the climate emergency.
Digital collage of scanned vintage postcards and my own digItal photographs. Image size 10 x 10 cm. Printed on archival matte Innova cotton rag. Also available as a hand-made artist book - see Books page.
