All The Sunflowers
With Vincent van Gogh, 2017-ongoing
Framed works, 2026; Postcard set, 2025; Artist’s book, 2021
All The Sunflowers is an ongoing experiment which began in 2017 in erasure and appropriation, as well as being an investigation into the sculptural qualities of a book and the possibility of a book to be reinvented by cutting and glueing, the book taking on unexpected new life forms. It’s also an exploration in the potential of reproduction, of copies of copies becoming original artworks in their own right, multiple modified interpretations
Vincent van Gogh painted seven sunflowers paintings in Arles over the period 1888-1889. These included three painted copies of two of the sunflowers paintings. I collated copies of these seven paintings in 2021 in book form, with individual paintings facing a page illustrated by a single colour picked from the artwork. I subsequently cut out all flowers by hand using a scalpel – all the sunflowers gone. In their layered, hollowed-out form, the modified paintings become three-dimensional, each visually dependent on the others.
Fixed to the wall, the hollowed out pages create shadow flowers, which I have fixed creating photographic lumen prints working with sunlight and black and white darkroom paper.
A set of seven postcards was published in 2025 and shows photographs of two editions of the 2021 book spontenaously intertwined back to front, creating seven new interpretations of the sunflowers works, here bringing to the foreground unique colours picked from each of the seven sunflowers paintings.
The book and a lumen print were included in the 2021 solo show The Spots That Never Went at Photofusion, London, as part of a triptych responding to personal memories of the 1980s AIDS crisis.
