Flop H-100 E: Neural Surge

A Black Country foundry rebuilt as silicon architecture: factory chimneys become heat sinks, terraced houses fuse with circuit traces. The work collapses industrial labour into digital production, asking what was gained and what was lost in each migration of work.

Endz of the World, Prints

A two-year residency at Wolverhampton Art Gallery, in conversation with the gallery's nineteenth- and twentieth-century industrial paintings and ethically sourced archival images of mid-twentieth-century empire workers.

The work moves through composite image-making, photopolymer etching, sculpture, and film. Each photopolymer intaglio monoprint was made at Thameside Print Studio using a process related to photolithography, the same technique used to pattern silicon chips. Each monoprint is unique.

Medium
Photopolymer etchings, sculpture, film
