THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON DRUGS

THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON DRUGS (2020) by Aluta Null
'THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON DRUGS' is a traditional collage made using magazine and pharmacy catalogue cut-outs on a canvas board. The imagery in the piece signifies ideas related to the mind, mental health, and the use (or misuse) of drugs in both recreational and psychiatric ways. The intentional use of removing adverts and text from their healthy context in a pharmacy catalogue pamphlet ties the piece closer to its themes.
Artwork dimensions: 60cm x 43cm
