Treasure City
Continuing in the Christmas at Gump’s vein, this collage series pairs my photographs of new and old luxury goods, (taken in storefronts/museums) with fragments of Dutch still-life masterpieces. The poor quality of the photographs in these collages contributes to their surrealism. In the course of creating these works, I began to acknowledge and harness my overwhelming sensitivity to colour, so much so that when photographing, I am now in the habit of setting my viewfinder to black and white to avoid being distracted.
