We had the Stone, Bronze and Iron Age. Now, thanks to the internet, we're living in The Information Age. Where previously it was difficult to access knowledge, it’s now essentially instant. But with so much noise, seeing through agendas and knowing what's true has never been harder. It's more like The Overwhelming Age.
This series seeks to acknowledge this unique period of history.
On the 14th of April, 2021, we selected five newspapers from the United Kingdom. The front pages were each turned into single screens and consecutively screen-printed on top of each other by hand. Bright colours were chosen to represent the optimism and hope at the dawn of The Information Age, while the overlaid, layering effect from the colour gives a feeling of depth, complexity and stunning chaos - the real hallmarks of our era.
To mark the release of the screen prints, an open air exhibition was held in June 2021 across billboards in Shoreditch, London.
