I started to download porn off the web from sex and social sites in the late 90s. The jpegs were buried deep in a folder named porn. A hundred images grew to one then two thousand and inevitably the images spilled over into the studio.
My first artwork made from the archive was wallpaper.

The wallpaper is made with 1,860 images arranged in Photoshop using a contact sheet filter, pre-Google. The pattern is printed on newspaper to intentionally yellow and rip.
