Original artwork description:

Exploration of the male form in printed media, through a collage composed of vintage physique magazines and antique prints. This work is a study of colour, composition and masculinity, set against the background of British history with homosexuality, heteronormativity and male objectification. Authentic antique prints of heraldic patterns were used to create details that resemble the muscles of the arm as seen through the skin, almost like wounds.
