Joe turned his back on technology and started making ‘analogue’ collages. Based in England, he has published many popular silkscreen prints with CCA Galleries and sold his work in the Saatchi Gallery.
Artist Statement:
“I started making these simple hand-made collages as a sort of luddite reaction to working as a graphic artist on computers for many years. I like the limitations of collage...using found imagery and a pair of scissors, there are no Photoshop options to resize, adjust colours or undo. My collages work to a basic rule of sourcing just two or three images... with these I can reinvent the original scene to communicate a new idea.
I suppose I’ve become fairly anti-technology... although I now promote my art on websites, own an iPhone and use Facebook...It’s confusing, I wish I had been born 100 years ago.”
