Acrylic on Disco Ball with Chain, 2025

 This work transforms a domestic disco ball into a vessel for a 2024 poem in which the artist voices a clear rejection of drug culture. The piece juxtaposes the celebratory associations of the object with a message of critique and self-awareness, disrupting expectations of hedonism.

Originally purchased from Argos in the early 2000s for childhood bedroom discos, the disco ball carries a layer of nostalgia. Argos itself has become a recurring reference point in the artist’s practice, emblematic of everyday consumer culture and its unexpected influence on memory and creativity.
