This artwork is part of a series 'Don't Judge Me'. A rejection of celebrity culture and a reminder of how easily the media and structures of power can control our perception of events and individuals at any given time. Those represented only offer a snapshot of the many that have been unjustly forgotten, judged, cancelled or denied credit for their past endeavours, while frivolous celebrity, fake idols and sensationalism distracts from the void of many listless, unfulfilled human lives. The use of the half-tone dot is in part homage to Hannah Höch, who used that same technology to make social comment in a society that would eventually demonstrate the very worst aspects of human nature. My initial digital illustrations undergo a digital corruption process created through malfunctioning inkjet printers to produce, unplanned, random faults that help to convey how time, technology and human interpretation can change an original image or narrative. Within the structure of my screenprints, the shapes of places that have significant relevance to the protagonist can sometimes be found, hidden within plain sight. The sense of memory is then mapped within the final image and provides a means of authentication.
