Karl Russell Vickers West Yorkshire, United Kingdom
Leeds-based Artist, originally from Blackpool. Collage and sculpture.
I make collage works on paper using a self-archive of images, and sculptural arrangements using materials and objects collected over the span of my practice, on themes varying from football to water to thumbnails and digitisation. Obsession is a recurring, long-time theme within my collages that is explored explicitly through repetitive series and repetitive works, made using repetitive mark-marking, where I am driven and compelled to achieve complete control and total symmetry / asymmetry.
