new work - television
http://www.counterwork.co.uk/television
images created by digitally compositing and manipulating television stills from 'high quality' american tv shows.
the images are reworked over a prolonged period using only black, white and erase. form and composition are derived from overlaps between image layers.
an attempt is also made to reduce the images down to the barest essentials - leaving only traces of the former imagery.
