I like playing with the idea of physical censorship, using elements within an image to hide specific parts. Here, I’ve made two prints of a single pose, with one inverted. They’ve been mounted on card and cut as jigsaws using a laser cutter. As the pieces in each jigsaw are identical, I can then swap from one to the other.

The result is reminiscent of a glitch on a poorly-tuned television, which breaks the flow of each image, censoring its content. Only by reconstituting each jigsaw is it possible to unscramble the two images.

Hello. Nik here. Thanks for visiting. Would you like to get in touch? If so, you can send me an email by addressing it to my first name at this domain. I'm sure you can work out what that means. I'd rather not put my details online in plain text for obvious reasons.
