Cherry Bomb
Vinyl stickers and film projection

ARTIST STATEMENT

“Cherry Bomb” reflects the act of conveying stories in an urban environment. The installation is a collection of over 40 stickers, imitating the clustered style of ‘sticker bombing’, additionally, an overlay projection of a film incorporating animation acts as a moving sticker. Designs work on a literal and conceptual level conveying concepts like consumerism and its role in gentrification of urban art. The projected animations transform the environment, by reflecting how the impression of something can be seen in ephemeral urban art, which is affected by time, with meaning or personhood lost while still showing that people inhabited the space.
