Electronics (1967), 2023–24
Growing up, I was immersed in a world of magazines. Weekend breakfasts were a ritual of flipping through newspaper supplements, while our home overflowed with back issues of publications like The World of Interiors, Vogue, and MacUser. These magazines captivated me, and as a teenager, I sought out titles that resonated with my evolving tastes—ranging from domestic icons like The Face, i-D, and Select, to international imports such as Raygun, Grand Royal, and Alternative Press. I found joy in the interplay of reporting on the cutting edge, reflecting on the past, and blending nostalgic elements with striking visuals.
After graduating from art school, I spent 12 years in the magazine industry, first as an art and production director and later as a design editor. My experience there deeply influenced my creative practice. Wanting to pay homage to this period—but also to distance myself from the era I directly knew—I chose to explore a time before my own. I acquired a full year of Electronics magazine issues, specifically from a period 12 years before I was born. The collages I’ve created are made exclusively from the pages of these issues, with no restrictions on how many works can emerge from each one.
