CONTEMPORARY ICONS
Contemporary Icons is an evolving visual mythology about the systems of belief, ritual, identity, desire, and value that shape contemporary life.
At its centre is a recurring figure with a heart instead of a head — an iconographic symbol of emotion, vulnerability, desire, and the human need to belong.
Each body of work places this figure within a different visual world, examining subjects ranging from digital culture and globalisation to money, morality, conformity, and technology.
