* DETAILS
While our recommended frame color and border or bleed choice is what we feel best complements the art and vision of the artist, by all means, choose a look that best complements your style and space.
Paper Size: Is based on Full Bleed and adding a border will change the aspect ratio, so paper size may adjust slightly smaller.
Glazing: To eliminate reflective glare, our biggest work (70″ to 80″ on the long side) is protected by an archival laminate in lieu of acrylic. Up to 60″ on the long side is protected by UV acrylic.
Border: If the framed image above is showing a white border, then clicking on Full Bleed will not show what full bleed looks like. We only show how a border will look. Your choice will appear on your order. The border on work up to 40″ x 60″ is about 2.5″ and about 3.5″ on our biggest work.
Frame Color: Clicking on Frame Color will not change the color of the frame, but your choice will appear on your order.
Frames: Our frames are custom made from robust solid wood Studio moulding, 2″ deep with a 3/4″ face width and joined at the corners with butterfly joints.
Orientation: Some work can be displayed either horizontal or vertical—should you wish to change orientation, please contact us and we’ll place the D-rings accordingly and confirm via email.

I base my pieces on published Brexit studies from 2015 to 2017. My work is not a gesture of contempt for their findings but an acknowledgement. The significance of erasing text is to be found precisely in the impossibility of giving the projections outlined in the studies the importance to have an impact on changing the rhetoric in the media and decisions regarding Brexit. It seems that no form of rational critique will persuade the people or the government to stop this disaster. Since rational critique is dependent on free political and material conditions, these pieces explore the loss of the communicative function of knowledge. The erasure mirrors the concept of a purifying process to make Britain prosper again and the current British Zeitgeist of blaming the EU for everything. Imposing geometric coloured shapes, mainly rectangles to block out the text is a retreat into abstraction since the facts are not understood. The interpretation is open to the viewer in its widest form and echoes the outlook of the people and government implementing their fantasy of a return to a utopian past. The redaction of text carries with it the suggestion that what is present beneath the coloured rectangles is significant by light of its absence.
The tension between the eligible written evidence and the coloured abstract shapes creates an uncertainty which resonates with my own situation.
