Dogs & Dice. Notes on a Visual Thesaurus

Martin O’Neill has been working as a collage Artist and Illustrator since 1995 and in that time has amassed a vast archive of found images, type, textures and ephemera. This collection is housed in his studio in a mismatched series of filing cabinets, drawers, shoeboxes and paper bags. His talk will wander through his working process as he explores the chance relationships and hidden meanings that lie within this improvised, organic filing system.
