<strong>Cassettes</strong><br />

<strong>Cassettes</strong> have always been objects of fascination for me. My previous collection of cassette<br />

paintings focused on studio demo-tapes or mix tapes, featuring bands or songs that had<br />

withstood the test of time and entered into pop music history.<br />

When I thought about painting a new cassettes collection, I wanted to focus on the cassette<br />

itself as an object, in the tradition of Pop Art. I was particularly interested in the colour and<br />

design. <strong>Cassettes</strong> are all identical in terms of their engineering, but in presentation each one<br />

is different.<br />

I have stripped the cassette back to a stand-alone object, in the same way that Andy Warhol<br />

stripped back the soup can.<br />
