Stephen Anderson STATEMENT Use of magazine ad slogans as a point of departure and deconstruction. Collage resources from vintage books. Mounted on wood and meticulously hand cut with a scroll saw. A look on life from the mundane to the profound and how as humans we are searching for meaning where often there is none.
