A painting about painting and paintings. A collection of found, unwashed and broken paint brushes, rendered unusable, bound together to resemble a bunch of flowers.

Are we the copy and paste generation? – to remix, sample or cover – brands and logos infiltrating our aesthetic and natural world – the Just Stop Oil Van Gogh’s Sunflowers (1888) protest at the National Gallery – celebrated paintings turned into merchandise – high value items made with increasingly low quality materials – art world taste makers in a game of Monopoly.
