The Gloss Machine and the Velvet Death

The theme of this collection is “creative destruction.” I’ve taken my own work, which are mainly (industrial and street) photographically based, and defiled and deformed the original prints with an assortment of random and common household items and products, as varied as drywall screws to floor and glass cleaner to birth new art from already existing art.

Nothing will be perfect when partaking in chaos, nor is it meant to be. The new art could come out as anything really. In the end I never know beforehand, which adds to the appeal and originality of it.
