Art
The latest series of works have been largely collage despite much of Jake Messing’s past being a mixture of paintings, drawings, prints, and interdisciplinary media. The collages include primarily antique magazine images combined with much older references that create a juxtaposition between the old and new, consumerism and mythology. This is displayed in the repeated use of the satellite as the modern halo above Mary.
