Artist Statement
Flags for borderless nations are flags for micro nations of one or two people. These nations have no borders, and are sovereign states we carry within ourselves and share with others through ideas and actions. Governance is built over time and subject to whim. Rather than the standard bright contrasting colours of conventional flags, these are more idiosyncratic palettes that might signal some kind of personality – perhaps an entity in itself.
These works I carry with me and make during my commutes and while watching the television, in the small down times of the day.
