This is a painting I call “Notified”, it’s my phone lock screen and shows the notifications falling. In Australia from 2019-2020 I’ve noticed that lighting up my phone to see the notifications was often met with seeing a scrollworthy list of updates from the news about the current disaster. Perhaps Aussies have been desensitised to the amount of deaths that casually pop up on our screens.

I eventually became someone who doesn’t have apps on my phone and looking back at this artwork, it’s interesting to see the complicated trail of events that lead to it.

This artwork is hand-stretched, oils and hooks will be attached on sale.
