This project considers the over consumption of technology linked with the individuals who facilitates the consumer culture that we all live in. Within this I’m also thinking about the difference between the virtual and the real world, as well as how technology can be a help and a hindrance simultaneously. Tied into this are ideas surrounding the monotony of life and everyone being placed/living in their own small space, watching the world go by through various screens that are provided for them.

Utopian Realism has been included in the following exhibitions:

– an evening with isthisit?, curated by Bob Bicknell-Knight. At Eva’s Place, Suffolk, UK, 29th – 31st December 2016.
