The innovative use of collaged elements reflects the complex and fragmented world in which Miss Mash’s art is rooted, but this is balanced by her close attention to compositional harmony and a respect for beauty. Starting her career as an urban photographer, Miss Mash expanded her practice to create glossy collage works on aluminium, using a host of witty iconic images, landmarks, designer brands and graffiti in a pop art colour palette. The inclusion of raised elements to give a 3d effect brings a different perspective and reflects the sense of depth of mind she references. Each piece is suffused with vibrant colour, and its intricate detail and arresting imagery is overlaid with a subtle touch of humour. The retro vibe created by the vintage style and pop art feel engages and uplifts the viewer with a nostalgic sense of familiarity and warmth.
