At the Social Tailor we are always looking at what influences the world around us whether in technical development, art work, community building or designing – this film by Matt Black for NOWNESS is one that we identify strongly with; the music, the art, the passion for form and placement within a defined environment.
Here Gary Simmons is attempting to define the route and influences and results for his body of work to date. Whether depicting the Hollywood sign ablaze or using watercolor varnish on large-scale, apocalyptic landscapes, Simmons twists American iconography with poetic vigor.
