ProfessionalWhy did you make this work:
I recorded a new music album recently called The Fall of The Human Empire. I decided to make a series of collaged narratives using the same title. All collages are improvised and led by both the theme presented in the implications of the title and the materials I serendipitously find.
How was the illustration used: Both the music album and a selection of images from this body of work will be released as a gatefold vinyl LP containing a 16 page book on the Polish record label Lumberton Trading Company sometime during 2020.
How did you make this work: Traditional collage / photomontage. Scissors, scalpel, glue and decades old books from charity shops.
