Cosmopolitan magazine made a point to never discuss babies within its pages, so Jewell placed them amongst their models in this artwork.

Cosmo-Babies Longsleeve

A collection of discarded photo booth snapshots, abandoned by their subjects for reasons unknown.

“Many photos I found mutilated by tearing, so I collected as much of the image that was still lying around and then reassembled them at home, otherwise they bear the scars of being burnt or trodden upon”

Dick Jewell’s conceptual practice is grounded in social observations that question human behaviour through parody, irony and humour. Since 1968—when he began salvaging discarded photobooth images—his interest in collecting, grouping, and reproducing photographs has evolved to encompass ever larger sets of visual material.

Responding to an ever-shifting media environment, Jewell’s work has continually evolved alongside changes in how images are produced and circulated. This book, made to accompany the exhibition 

at Graces Mews, chronologically traces that parallel movement—from hand-collaged newspaper and magazine compositions of the 1970s, to television imagery, and ultimately to internet-based montages created with Photoshop. It includes an introductory essay by Charlotte Cotton and a text by Nobuhiko Kitamura.
