2003. The vinyl surface of my desk was falling apart due to my short-sighted use of it as a cutting board, so I stretched three strips of masking-tape alongside each other vertically to keep the vinyl in its place. With this blank canvas of masking-tape panels staring me down daily, it wasn't long before I felt the urge to fill the empty space... so utilising a four-colour ballpoint pen I set about depicting this window into surrealville. I later replaced the masking tape with new strips and scanned and adjusted the original strips to remove the colour and texture of the tape from the artwork. Like gazing at clouds, I hope you can see a variety of hidden forms within the image. Lemme know what ya think.
A captivating group shot of some of those synapse and retina popping oddities from the carnival macabre which has pitched it's tent between your ears. Awesome!
