The Neon Rings of Saturn by George Willmore.
 
Series: The Quick & Dirty Collection.
 
Medium: Collage on Postcard
 
Made from 90’s French photography magazines, art museum leaflets and a book on space. This one was an experiment in contrasting visuals with the idea of linking each through history and culture. Saturn to the mythology of old gods, those gods influence the classics statues of the past - those sculptures now re-packaged as product, product advertised through the modern day represented by neon boxes, and that neon being backed onto photography corrupted by distortion - itself a metaphor for the whole process played out above.
 
All the same dimensions, approximately 10x14cm, and mounted onto 3mm card backings. The backs are stamped with the name of the series, a signature, the title, and date of creation.
