Whalen presents a series of mixed media collage works. The works are built up by an obsessive compulsive network of rules and coding relating to colour, placement of imagery/object and the amount of material used. Images include sublime sunsets, animals, jewels, smiley faces and words of positivity and encouragement. Initially existing as web images, stickers and magazine illustrations the abundance and shiny aesthetic of this found imagery within our culture speaks to notions of reward, consolation and escape from daily working lives.
