Wellness
(2017)
[Digital collage]
Formed of a graphic suite of 31 digital collages for the 31 days of January, Wellness takes the viewer/reader on a hashtag safari starting with #wellness and ending with #trump. A meta-lexicon and cipher for the platform which it uses as its medium and subject, hashtags and appropriated and edited images of wells (in a variety of contexts) are collaged together in a disassociation game for the post-truth age. As the hashtags accumulate, each addition to the snaking words is combined with an image from the ‘Instaarchive’ to create new puns and misapprehensions.
