Steve Tierney creates floating landscapes where figures interact amongst faces and words, dissected by machinery and everyday objects in a collage of imagery cut and pasted from magazines and advertising of the 50s and 60s.
A personal look at identity and self, shown through collaged images of abstract faces and distorted profiles, this new body of work focuses on examples of human behaviour and social interactions around gender stereotypes of the past and of today. Always keeping an ironic and tongue-in-cheek view of the world in front of him.
