Absurdist

Painting the Roses Red

An absurd piece exploring themes around immigration, patriotism and what it means to belong. The project takes both inspiration from Lewis Carroll’s classic work of fiction Alice in Wonderland, and the reality of the past six months, where we have seen a rise in overt nationalism. In the words of Carroll; ‘the time has come,’ the walrus said, ‘to talk of many things: of shoes and ships, and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings'.
