This week’s banner is an excerpt from Liza Smith’s Body of Work “A composition of glut”.

Liza writes:

“Composition of Glut” encapsulates ideas surrounding gluttony, greed, and excess consumption.  It critiques the overabundant nature of consumer behaviours within the contemporary world through a series of paintings, laser cuttings, and collage.  Items including egg cartons, nail polish, shoes, bottles, and tools become the central motif, repeated in a reflection of consumer greed in the same way they might be repeated in the aisles of a shop.
