Monet's Houses of Parliament and the Thames. Diana Kolleva 2006


Plastic bags, PVA glue, canvas

What appears from a distance to be thickly layered paint is, on closer inspection a spectrum of coloured plastic shopping bags, questioning assumptions of the materials we use for representative image making.
