In the turbulent currents of late-capitalism, contemporary artists navigate an era fraught with uncertainty and disillusionment. Robert Bittenbender, Isabella Darcy, George Egerton-Warburton, Sarah Goffman, Spencer Lai, Marian Tubbs, and Philadelphia Wireman immerse themselves in the residual debris of excessive mass consumption and relentless globalization, crafting their art from the detritus of contemporary life.

Backwash delves into this thematic undercurrent, where waste becomes a central metaphor for excess and expenditure within consumption-driven systems. The artworks assembled here challenge societal indifference towards consumption's impacts, offering a lens through disorder and chaos to illuminate overlooked truths.

Backwash showcases intricate assemblages of found objects, printed media, photographs, and paintings, each piece a hyperbolic weave of everyday materials and memories. These creations blur boundaries between containment and unpredictability, celebrating creative freedom while empathizing with discarded and undervalued entities, in order to confront uncomfortable truths and contemplate paths towards meaningful change.

Seven distinct plastic sleeve designs showcase the artistic contributions of each artist. When purchased online, the specific sleeve variant will be selected randomly, adding an element of surprise and diversity to your purchase.
